Lisbon, 1972
Born in Lisbon, I grew up watching my father take photos and develop them at home. A strong and pleasant memory are the countless sessions viewing slides of birthdays, holidays, trips and other events of family interest.
Despite all my academic life being in the field of science/engineering, I have always been attracted to photography, and after attending several workshops, I began my training with the Professional Photography Course at IPCI - Instituto de Produção Cultural e Imagem, in Lisbon. I’m currently attending the Master in Artistic Photography also at IPCI, where I’ve also began activity as a trainer, teaching Photographic Technique.
Currently residing in Torres Vedras, I’m using photography to reflect on the themes that question me, with a preference for current political issues, crossing them with my own emotions, in order to create intense narratives.
