The Art of Celebrity Portrait

Throughout Mauricio Candela's career, he has had the opportunity to work with renowned celebrities and public figures, often creating celebrity portraits that capture both personality and presence. Working with this kind of talent has its own magic, as you need to know how to manage the set, be prepared, and avoid mistakes when the celebrity is in front of the lens. In many of these campaigns, a prelight is done using a stand-in, so when the celebrity arrives on set, it takes only a short time to capture the required material.

Here, you’ll find some of the celebrities he has worked with, from athletes to singers, actors, and more — a selection of work that includes both dynamic campaign imagery and refined celebrity portrait moments.
