Photography

I started photographing in 2004 with a Kodak digital compact camera and it didn't take long before I got addicted to photography. Then I started reading books, magazines and searching the internet to learn more about it. Adding some workshops, new photographer friends and some discipline drove me to become the photographer I am today.


Approach

My goal with photography is to show what my eyes can see, and to get the best possible image quality, I have to capture the moment on location. I always shoot RAW with neutral settings, so my post-processing produce no loss of quality and is just a way to enhance what I saw, the moment I took the photo.

No photo on this website was digitally manipulated. Each image shown here was produced from one single file.


Equipment

I currently use Canon equipment. A Canon 5DII camera with Canon 16-35 f2.8, Canon 70-200 f2.8 IS II, Canon 24 1.4 II L and Canon 180 f3.5 Macro lenses. A Sigma teleconverter, a Gitzo tripod with Arca Swiss head, Lowepro backpack and some Lee and Hitech filters complete the package.


Personal

Born in Lisbon, 10 August 1981, and currently living there.

As for my main job I work as a senior programmer at Accenture. I have a master's degree in computational physics by the University of Barcelona and the Polytechnic University of Catalunya and a degree in Physics by the University of Lisbon.
