What do you love best about your city?

The amazing LIGHT we have in Portugal.

Why did you become a photographer?

I fell in love with photography when I was 14. When I discovered I could live working with photography I never wanted to do anything else.

How would you describe your style of photography?

I have trained as an advertising photographer but I am a generalist. I love to photograph everything/ everybody.

Your muse.

I have many like Irving Penn, Sebastião Salgado, Mario Cravo Neto, Nick Knight, Javier Vallonrat, Cassio Vasconcellos, and many, many others.
