Amateur photographer from Portugal but shooting all over the globe, or trying.

From that time I have been participating in collective exhibitions in several rooms and galleries of the whole country; awarded in many national and international contests of photography; several works published in Portuguese and French magazines of photography, travel magazines (with texts and images), books and catalogues of travel agencies. Member of juries in contests of photography and a member of websites of photography national and foreign, where my portfolios can be visited.
