I’m João Ferreira, an award-winning esports & sports photographer from Portugal, specialising in high-impact esports event coverage, media days and team campaigns. With more than 200 international events across Europe, Asia and the Middle East, I’m one of the most trusted esports photographers working with the world’s leading tournament organisers — including BLAST, PGL, EFG (ESL FACEIT Group), Ubisoft, Riot Games, and the Esports World Cup. Brands such as Red Bull, Liga Portugal the Portuguese Football Federation have also relied on my work to elevate their visual storytelling.
From Counter-Strike 2 and Rainbow Six Siege to League of Legends, FIFA and EA FC, I’ve covered the biggest titles and stages in competitive gaming. My documentary-style approach focuses on capturing decisive moments, authentic emotion and the atmosphere that defines top-tier esports production. This work has earned multiple industry recognitions, including Best Esports Photographer at the Portuguese Esports Awards and nominations at the Esports Industry Awards.
While esports photography is at the core of what I do, I also work extensively in traditional sports. I’ve photographed professional football teams, national competitions and international tournaments, applying the same fast-turnaround workflow and storytelling used in esports to deliver powerful visuals for federations, clubs and brands.
Whether on stage, backstage, on the pitch or inside the studio, my focus remains the same — creating impactful images that enhance identity, strengthen campaigns and deliver high-quality content quickly for social media, broadcasts and global audiences.
Thank you!
