Harmony

My eye was drawn to the sense of peace this image conveys. The colors of the dress mimic those of the signpost bearing welcome words — or vice versa. The shape of the character's body mimics the wave-like shape of the dark stones of the sidewalk to the right — or vice versa. Harmony and serenity. Something we all need.

88

You're invited. My new photo book will be launched on October 26, 2025, at 5:00 p.m., sponsored by the Caldas da Rainha City Council. Location: Small auditorium of the Caldas da Rainha Cultural and Congress Center. The book is titled "88 (88 images), a continuation of the book published in 2020 (under the title "99") – thus constituting a duology. The images in "88" were taken primarily in the triangle: Caldas da Rainha, Foz do Arelho, and Óbidos. Since this region has not been a backdrop for other street photographers, it constitutes a unique photographic collection. It measures 330 mm x 225 mm (hardcover), 184 pages with photos only on the odd-numbered pages, and an Afterword written by the excellent British photographer Paul Russell. The author's shadow appears as a guiding thread throughout the sequence. A way of being, symbolically, behind the camera and in front of it, also participating in the composition. Inspired primarily by the philosophy of Street Photography, this attempt was made to discover the extraordinary in the ordinary, everyday. An original quest for miracles at the mercy of light. Beyond the protagonism of color and the play of light and shadow, stories, humor, enigmas, and mysteries are hidden within the frames.

88

Lançamento no dia 26 de Outubro de 2025 pelas 17h de um novo livro de fotografia com o Patrocínio da Câmara das Caldas da Rainha. Local: Pequeno auditório do Centro Cultural e de Congressos das Caldas da Rainha (CCCC) A obra tem como título 88 (88 imagens), dando continuidade ao livro publicado em 2020 (com o nome de 99) – constituindo-se assim uma duologia. As imagens do 88 foram feitas sobretudo no triângulo: Caldas da Rainha / Foz do Arelho e Óbidos. Como esta região não tem sido palco para outros fotógrafos de rua constitui-se assim um acervo fotográfico singular. Tem 330 mm x 225 mm (capa cartonada), 184 páginas e um Posfácio escrito pelo excelente fotógrafo britânico: Paul Russell. A sombra do autor surge como um fio condutor ao longo da sequência. Um modo de estar, simbolicamente, atrás da câmara e à sua frente, participando também na composição. Com inspiração sobretudo na filosofia muito própria da Fotografia de Rua tentou-se descobrir o extraordinário no vulgar do quotidiano. Uma demanda original em busca de milagres ao sabor da luz. Para além do protagonismo da cor e do jogo de luz / sombra, há histórias, humor, enigmas e mistérios dentro dos enquadramentos.

Plastic Wave

- The image worked to my eye as a metaphor for the problem of plastic pollution in the world. The kid appears to be fleeing from a gigantic wave of plastic in which a few fish still survive. Plastic pollution in the ocean is a major environmental problem, with millions of tons of plastic entering the marine environment each year. This plastic debris, ranging from large pieces to microplastics, poses significant threats to marine life and ecosystems. Microplastics, which are fragments of larger plastic items, can enter the food chain and potentially pose risks to human health.
