Paulo Dias portugal
title
Momentum
Paulo Dias was born in 1970 and lives today in Oeiras - Portugal. Had professional training in electronics and worked as a computer technician. In 1999 established a company specialized in printing maintenance services. He has always been a keen photographer for family photos without big pretensions, but he always enjoyed photography art of others through magazines, books and exhibitions. Only in 2007 he took a more serious and ambitious contact with photography art. Fully self-taught, he adopted a method of observation and experimentation to develop its self-criticism, culminating in a vision of his very own work. The proximity of the sea coast and an almost daily visual contact with the sea made the landscape photography his passion.

entry description
This set of images have in common a Human connection, something that links the presence of Man to Nature, and sometimes you find the opposite: Nature taking the place of Man. It is an almost magnetic attraction and an exciting challenge to create a surrealistic rendering that is able to convey such connection. All photos were taken in Portuguese territory and was used ND filters to increase the exposure time.about the photographer
