In Qatar’s thriving creative industry, few sibling duos have made as lasting an impact as Bosco Menezes and his sister Geraldine Menezes Fernandes, two photographers whose passion for storytelling through the lens has helped preserve countless memories for families across Doha.
Known for their creativity, strong community connections, and ability to capture life’s most meaningful milestones, the brother-sister pair have carved individual identities in Qatar’s photography scene while sharing a common love for documenting human emotions and unforgettable moments.

Meanwhile, Geraldine — fondly known as ‘Camera Queen Qatar’ — has built her own journey as one of Doha’s popular family photographers.
Born and raised in Doha, Geraldine’s love for photography began in childhood when she frequently experimented with her father’s camera or borrowed equipment from her brother.
From school events and university gatherings to family celebrations, Geraldine quickly became the go-to person for capturing important moments long before she entered the profession full-time.
Nearly a decade ago, she transformed that passion into a career founding Sharp Shooters International covering weddings and events in India, Australia, Canada, USA, UK, UAE and Qatar. She has since become known for capturing birthdays, maternity shoots, weddings, anniversaries, newborn photography, and family portraits.
Her dedication to building trust with clients has turned many first-time customers into lifelong relationships.
“I am not only a family photographer, I am their family photographer,” Geraldine says proudly.
While both siblings have built independent careers, their journeys reflect a shared family passion for creativity and visual storytelling. It must surely run in the family with their sibling Savio Menezes also being in a creative advertising field.
Their work has become an integral part of many family milestones in Qatar and beyond, where they continue to capture joy, emotion, celebration, and love through their cameras.
Friends and clients often praise the duo for their professionalism, warmth, and ability to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera — a skill that has contributed greatly to their success.
