One of the photographs I’ve restored is currently on display at the Modern and Postmodern exhibition next to artworks by Picasso, Andy Warhol, Gerhard Richter and other renowned artists.
The ideal sunset is not the one you see and wish you could have been there, but the one we watch and store in our memories. It may not have been the most intense, but it is ideal because it is part of our experiences.
Praia de Porto Novo, Torres Vedras, Portugal
A place once full of trees, battered by flames a few years ago. However, it remains intact at some places, where there is a set of species of fauna and flora characteristic of the region.
Serra de Montejunto, Portugal
beyond the dunes and cliffs of the coastal zone of Porto Novo and Santa Rita, the hills rise as a result of tectonic activity of a singular peculiarity, becoming an icon of the region. A contrast between the verdant green of native species and the blue where the land ends and the sea begins, as Luís Vaz de Camões wrote.
Maceira, Torres Vedras, Lisboa, Portugal
Walking in the countryside is much more than just walking. It is to engage in communion with nature and to meet beings and species that completely ignore the Man. Because they are in their habitat, focused on their lives and tasks, too busy to pay attention to the intruder.
Really near the infrared, which is not visible to us, there’s a spectrum that equipment can register. It is the light that is not seen, but is reflected by the foliage, so intensely that, under the right conditions, provides fantastic pink or white tones.
Maceira, Torres Vedras, Lisboa, Portugal
A burst of tones in these natural planted seaside gardens. In the distance, you can see the nuances of flowers. However, as you walk you can see them closer and closer to the point where you can smell them and hear the leaves waving in the breeze. It is an immersive and healthy experience that I recommend.
The contrast of red poppies and green ears of wheat reminds us that Nature awakes for another cycle.
Place of my childhood, to which I often return and photograph. These are moments of great tranquillity at low tide that I capture in these images, revealing a serene landscape.
Where once thousands of sea creatures used to inhabit, there is a shortage today, and it is almost rare to find rocks full of life. As in almost everything, the Man has an ominous role in exploitation to extinction. One day, when it’ll be too late, we will visit a museum that will remember these beings. On the grey, bare stones there will only exist bits of rope and plastic to appreciate.
A Praia de Porto Novo num daqueles momentos mágicos que tanto gosto de apreciar e fotografar. Um mar calmo e um por do sol a brilhar em tons dourados.
Praia de Porto Novo (Porto Novo Beach) in one of those magical moments I love to enjoy and to photograph. A calm sea and a sunset glimmering in golden tones.

Uma pequena baía situada próxima de Maceira no concelho de Torres Vedras. Local relacionado com as Invasões Francesas e a Batalha do Vimeiro, onde também desagua o Rio Alcabrichel. Retrato, aqui, a beleza do luar nesta praia que também é um ícone da região.
There’s a small bay nearby Maceira, Torres Vedras. A beach related to the French Invasions and the Battle of Vimeiro, where Alcabrichel River flows too. Here, I portray the beauty of the moonlight at this beach which is a regional icon.

At daybreak, we can enjoy the moonset at the sea. A beautiful show that paints the sea waters in silver tones.
Ao romper do dia, podemos observar o por da Lua no mar. Um belo espetáculo que pinta de prateado as águas do mar.

In a photograph we can keep forever the memories of a moment or place. Keep sounds, views, a sunny day, a piece of sky or the salty breeze.

Praia de Santa Cruz, Torres Vedras, Portugal
A areia dourada, a água de um intenso azul a contrastar com a espuma clara. É esta a vista da costa oeste portuguesa. O ar fresco e o som das ondas e das gaivotas.
The golden sand, the deep blue water contrasting with the light foam. That’s the view at west coast Portugal. The fresh air and the sound of the waves and the seagulls.

I’m sharing my take of the longest lunar eclipse of the 21st century with Mars also at its brightest point in the last 15 years. July 27th 2018
Partilho o meu registo do maior eclipse lunar do século XXI com Marte também no seu ponto mais brilhante dos últimos 15 anos. 27 de julho de 2018.
Portraying beyond the common point and shoot is capturing the essence of the people, the places and the light. If we afford to get these three magic stones, we get a completely ethereal picture which takes us to fantasy, using reality per se.

Life is made of dreams, such as a huge story tale.
Sometimes, the book of life has blank pages for us to write our own story. Inspiring moments like these are the real story we will write on today’s pages, the leaves of life.

A vida é feita de sonhos, tal como um grande conto.
Por vezes, o livro da vida tem páginas em branco para escrevermos a nossa própria história.
Momentos inspiradores como estes, são a narrativa real que escreveremos nas páginas de hoje, as folhas da vida.

A cloudy sunset is almost a Hail Mary. We can either witness a fantastic show of colours or a dull grey nightfall without a glimpse of warm light through the clouds.
