Here’s just a bit of what I’ve been doing with my friend Joana yesterday afternoon.
More to come!

Back shooting

Today I went back shooting with a friend of mine, something I haven’t done in quite a while. While at home – since I am unemployed from a full-time job, I mean – I have lots of time to spend with whatever I feel like to.
I have been craving to shoot portraits for weeks now (ok, let’s make it months) and today I felt so happy to have the opportunity of doing it.
As I said, I went with a friend and shot her (I can’t avoid smilling at the expression “to shoot someone”…). We based a session on Tim Burton’s book The melancholy death of Oyster Boy and other stories. We both love this book; we both appreciate Tim Burton’s work.
We will do another session on this subject soon, as we have more ideas to develop (yes, I said we, because she helps me too).

So, you can wait for some pictures from today’s session sometime soon.

Cheers and hear you soon!

Black and White photography, specially using film, is a must for me every now and then. I may take a while until I shoot a whole 36-photo film, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t like it. In fact, I love it.
I love the sound of my camera shooting, I love all the stories it could tell, I get stunned by it. It’s so simple.

Enjoy it. *

Food Photography – a comeback

What about a spree? Some kind of feast?

I went back to food photography a couple weeks ago. I do need to get more experience on the field, but i still love it more than I can possibly tell at the moment. It’s quite a challenge! Not getting the best conditions to shoot makes it an even bigger challenge, as I have to figure out how to improve what I have (which is not good nor even enough for an amateur shot, sometimes).

As soon as I get more used to this, I will be posting examples here.

Cheers, everyone!

S. Pedro do Sul

Recently, I went for a weekend trip to S. Pedro do Sul. I didn’t shoot that much, unfortunately (only about 60 pictures for a 3-day long journey), but some of the photos are kinda nice. Not impressive photography, though, but I liked some results. And the place is worth visiting (I’ve been there last week, there’s a post on that) and I still want to go back there again sometime later.

Here’s a “sneak pic” of it.

S. Pedro do Sul, Viseu, Portugal

Catarina Alves _ new session

I’ll be posting some pictures I took not long ago on a shooting session with Catarina Alves. This work will probably be available on Issuu as well, so I’ll let you know more soon.

All the best*
