I’m tagging this as a 2020 post, but truth be told, this is still from the last days of 2019. Doina is from Moldova, but she came to Lisbon to study and guess what…? She fell in love with the city and ended up moving in.
Read MoreI think 2019 was the year where I met less models and now that I think of it, I kind of miss it. But that’s just the way things go, sometimes schedules and deadlines are what they are and I end up missing some really nice people who are passing by Portugal.
Read MoreWho doesn’t like a good challenge? Specially when you’re given freedom to shoot the way you want to. That’s how the photos bellow came to be.
Read MoreI’ve made stories about it on IG and I even recorded a podcast (in Portuguese) with three little stories about my days around Northern Ireland… but I guess this post was missing. I mean, why should the photos be sitting on my hard drive only?

But since photography became my profession, some of my early influences, like music and movies, seem to have less and less space in my creative process. The photos in this post are my attempt of bringing those influences back into my photography.
Read MoreIt’s been a while since I had been shooting on a backstage, but when I got the chance to witness Matilde Breyner’s transformation into Mick Jagger for the Portuguese tv show “A Tua Cara Não Me É Estranha”, I couldn’t resist.
Read MoreMatilde Reymão isn’t exactly a surprise for me. I met her in 2016 when she was still a new face and with little experience. But from that first impression, I immediately got that “this girl has got something” feeling, you know?
Read MoreI met Mariana Montes in 2013, when she was starting out as a model… actually, on the day we shot the photos bellow, she told me that she remembers that 2013 shoot as one of her first serious photo shoots…
