Addicted Art Gallery proudly presents João de Castro's intimate and provocative photographic exhibition, "Let's Give Them Something To Talk About." João's fine art transcends eroticism, depicting power swings between photographer and subject, expressing emancipation and sincerity.
This exhibition features João's intimate and raw photography of women, often naked and unconscious of the viewer's gaze. The subject's unrestrained self-expression is celebrated in these high-contrast black-and-white photos with dramatic lighting and composition. João's unique interaction with models fosters a secure atmosphere for self-expression without judgement.

João's photographic journey is as captivating as his work. With a rich cultural background and his father's collection of classic female photographs, João acquired a deep appreciation for strong female figures. After working in editorial and advertising photography, he pioneered nude photography in Portugal in 1994.

For decades, João has worked as a photographer, teacher, editor, and producer. His accolades and partnerships with large companies demonstrate his expertise. João, despite his accomplishments, is driven by a quest for learning and fostering curiosity in others, emulating Federico Fellini's quote: "I am a boat drifting with the tide, without religion." I question my duty...I think these are dignified ways to keep working.I want to show folks new images I'm not tired of. I want to intrigue people."
