title
The animal life on a human planet
Animal species, especially the most defenseless ones, suffer a lot from the destruction of their habitats, caused by the most different causes. Pollution, irresponsible and excessive use of natural resources, negligence, criminal hand are the most frequent abuses that make many species have already become extinct or are threatened.
I´m available to do photographic and post-production works, workshops and events anywhere around the world.
I was always interested in the arts and design, devoting much time to the drawing. Even before I devote to photography I had some influences that followed carefully, for example: MCEscher, Magritte and Salvador Dali.
These three authors have some things in common, they all re-interpreted the world around them in their own way, recreating reality based on optical illusion, so it can be said that are part of a Surrealist style.
In 2007 I finished a degree in Decorative Arts, in "Escola Superior de Educação de Beja". In 2008 I moved to Lisbon and complete the Advanced Photography (2008) Conceptual Photography (2009) courses, both in Oficina da Imagem.
At this moment I´m dedicated exclusively to photography, and I intend to produce a differentiated and high quality work, different from other authors.
