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”.
