Ricardo Braz is a travel photographer, filmmaker, and expedition leader who chases the world the old-fashioned way: with patience, curiosity, and who never lost that spark of wonder that first put a camera in his hands.

He documents wild places, wildlife, and the quiet moments in between, blending cinematic storytelling with a deep respect for the land, the people who live close to it, and their stories.

​

Through Gaia Expeditions, he turns journeys into stories, guiding others into the field, building community, and creating work that feels both timeless and alive.

​

From the Arctic to the desert, he follows the same path he always has: go far, go honestly, and bring back something real.

At the heart of it all, he’s still that curious soul out in the world, trying to capture the beauty that has always pulled him forward, aiming to inspire people to step outside, explore, and create memories of their own.
