I am a Portuguese street photographer based in Brussels, Belgium.
I started making street photography in the mid 1990’s and, ever since, I have been documenting humanity in my neck of the woods, wherever that might be at any given moment in time.
I started by doing black and white photography and kept doing so for 18 long years. Then, on one beautiful August afternoon in 2014, I discovered colour is not a virtual concept: it actually does exist and can be captured in photographs too.
Today I interchange between digital photography (for colour images) and analogue photography (for black and white) because I still believe both mediums are still very interesting to me.
The photographs I make reflect my view of the world and my world would be nothing without people. Therefore my pictures are all about people and about what they do best every day: live their lives!
I like to watch people going about their business and short of interacting with every interesting person that I see I try to capture them with my camera and bring them home with me.
The photographs on this portfolio are some of those daily life impressions that I have captured along my life. To me they not just came out as nice moments of everyday life but also as aesthetically pleasing images to look at. I hope you enjoy them too.
