Born in Brazil and based in San Francisco, Alysson Santos is a Brazilian-American multidisciplinary designer and photographer.

His creative journey began at the age of five, when he first picked up a camera during family trips, fascinated by capturing the world around him. Years later, while studying at university, Alysson refined his eye by learning photographic techniques alongside his journalist friends — still before embarking on a career in fashion design.

Fashion became the foundation of his creative path, where he developed a strong sense of form, proportion, and visual storytelling. Over time, his passion for capturing people through the lens grew naturally, leading him to focus on portraiture, headshots, and personal branding photography.

Today, Alysson brings a designer’s perspective into every portrait session — understanding how posture, styling, and subtle details can shape presence and perception. His work is rooted in clarity, confidence, and authenticity, creating images that resonate with both professionalism and individuality.

He currently resides in San Francisco, offering headshot and branding sessions throughout the Bay Area, and is available for assignments nationwide. Beyond photography, Alysson continues to explore his love for design and ceramics, bringing a holistic artistic vision to everything he creates.
