Each year, Adobe commissions artists from a variety of disciplines and styles to show off the power of Creative Cloud by creating custom artwork to represent each product.
I was commissioned to create artwork for the 2022 Adobe Lightroom update. We worked on 3 photoshoots with 3 different models, shooting both in studio and outside, roaming around a summery Berlin.

Work Experience
Exhibitions
Group Exhibit during Photoville Festival in New York city from 1 - 16 June.
Sometimes real life is messy and unexpected. It's beautifully imperfect - just like Polaroid Photography. We equipped 15 one-of-a-kind photographers to capture it in their own way.
48 hours Neukölln - The art festival takes place annually in Berlin's Neukölln district of the decentralized art festival, which is now the largest in the city. In 2013, more than 400 individual events were held at over 300 venues within the district.
In celebration of the fifth anniversary of our annual Art & Activism events series, SVACE presents an exhibition of images from our community—faculty, students, alumni, and friends—that addresses the global events of the last five years.
Speaking
As part of Pitchfork Music Festival Berlin this year, Refuge Worldwide will co-host a photography workshop led by Maria Louceiro.
Artist Maria Louceiro will join host Mat Hayward to discuss the trend — how it looks, what it means, and how you can interpret it.
Each month the wendy.network selects three artists within its growing community. The entirety of the month is dedicated to the artists, their work and their passion.
The wendy.network is dedicated to forming real, productive, and sustainable relationships within the art world. It is an online platform and network for artists that connects artists with each other and works to develop simple ways to invest in contemporary art.

Features
Two very talented photographers who create two very different worlds. Marie Renaud, captures off the cuff moments whilst Marie Louceiro uses color to create her dreamlike worlds; making them an interesting and im(perfect) pair for capturing the beautifully imperfect on the go. We equipped them with the latest Polaroid Go instant camera to interpret the lines “Real Life is sometimes unintentionally beautiful” and “Real Life is color you can’t control”. Read on to see how they captured real life on the Go…
Maria Louceiro mixes analog and digital photographic techniques to create a trippy, dreamlike world.
