Meet Barbara Vilara Photography

Hi, I’m Barbara!


I’m originally from Brazil, where I spent 9 wonderful years working as a professional photographer. Ever since I was a child, I have loved capturing moments, and this passion led me to study Photography at UTP, which I completed at FAG.


Over the years, I’ve had the chance to attend many workshops and conferences to keep growing and perfecting my style, including:

   •    Congresso Foto Innovation – Curitiba (2016 & 2017)

   •    Photography Week – Balneário Camboriú, Santa Catarina (2017)

   •    Everton Rosa Immersion – São Paulo (2018)

   •    Paraguay Congress – Asunción (2018)

   •    Couples Direction Workshop – Foz do Iguaçu (2019)

   •    Photo Insights – (2020)

   •    Be Pro Week – (2020)

   •    TTD Brasil – Florianópolis (2022)

   •    Photography Week – Foz do Iguaçu (2025)


I also worked as a photography teacher at Instituto Mix de Profissões, and I had the honor of volunteering with Fraternity Without Borders in Africa. In 2018, I received the Lotus Award for research and excellence.


I recently moved to Glasgow, Scotland, and I’m so excited to continue my journey here — capturing authentic emotions, telling unique stories, and creating timeless memories for wonderful people.


I would love to meet you and help turn your special moments into images you’ll cherish forever!
