Yes. I speak fluent Portuguese, French, and English. I frequently work with international clients and teach workshops in all three languages.

I live and work in Porto, where I conduct most of my workshops and photo sessions. However, I also regularly work in Lisbon and other regions of Portugal. Given the country’s small size and ease of mobility today, I am available for assignments anywhere in the world.

Yes. I continuously follow and integrate current and future trends in photography and technology. In recent years, I’ve invested in video production and hybrid content, such as my projects "Ukraine at War", the "Electric Bicycle Crossing of Africa" and "Echoes of the Thousand Hills" where I combined documentary photography and video for more complete visual narratives.

I also closely follow innovations in imaging, including artificial intelligence, editing methods, and immersive formats.

I’ve created 360º visual stories for The New York Times and always aim to deliver demanding, complete, and distinctive work.

My work is guided by authenticity, respect and a deep commitment to visual storytelling.

I believe in capturing real moments and emotions that convey the identity and values of people, places and organisations.

Every project is approached with dedication, creativity and professionalism, aiming to deliver images that resonate and endure.

I continuously seek innovation and learning to ensure that my photography evolves with the times while maintaining its core purpose.
