Vasco Trancoso
Born in Lisbon, Portugal. I became a gastroenterologist and from 1983 lived in the city of Caldas da Rainha in the center of Portugal. However after retirement I resumed my sleeping passion for photography. During 2015/2016, my photographic “voice” has changed and my work has been “in colors” and I started by photographing my hometown (about 30 thousand inhabitants). As a result, a photo book with the name “99” was born (launch at January 2020), with 99 photographs. https://youtu.be/wVzhkovtzuQ The book includes an Essay by David Gibson and an Afterword by Paulo Abrantes.

About The Collection

I have been fascinated to discover the magic of light in the urban kaleidoscope mainly when fragments of colors emerge between deep shadows. A way of seeing through the primacy of aesthetic choices, geometries and the elaboration of contrasts. The plastic approach, the chromatic composition, the emotions and the graphic impact are decisive. These Photographs are featured in my photo book “99”. Info about the book and ordering at [email protected]. The book deserved some words from Matt Stuart: “What a nice surprise to receive, a beautifully produced photo book, laced with (99) wonderful colorful photographs. A mixture of Cristobal Hara, Alex Webb and Costa Manos all rolled into one! Great work”.

Sergio Kaufmann
I’m a Portuguese photographer living in Lisbon and began my photography journey 4 years ago the moment I started to bike to work. The bicycle gave me the freedom and time to explore and see things in a different way. Since then I’ve never stopped photographing and trying different things. I’m always looking for light and shadows interacting with people and the way it changes the environment during the day.

Fidalgo Pedrosa
Fidalgo Pedrosa, 65, photographer since 1975.
Author of two “photobook:
– “A vida um instante” (2013)
– “40 – Time doesn´t stand still” (2015).
I do Photography for passion and as a form of personal artistic expression in a perspective of sharing and communicating with society. I like to photograph spontaneous and unprepared life in its interaction with the surroundings and in unusual, unique and unrepeatable moments, without forgetting the composition. In a photograph, I value life moments and emotions more than technique.I like to travel to photograph. I shoot in the street discreetly and stealthily (candid) however, sometimes, I also interact with people photographing them with their consent.
I publish BW and color, on Instagram and Facebook.We are all Observed and We are all Observers.To photograph is to communicate.

About The Collection

This selection of 20 photographs had as a concept not only the display in the cities where I photographed, but also the “representation” of my “eclecticism” in the approach of themes. In fact, I like to photograph in the streets, either in a discreet and stealthy way, or in direct contact and with the consent of those portrayed. I also like the so-called “decisive moment”, the aesthetic integration and interaction of the human being with the environment and also registering moments of humor and irony.
