Editorial & Travel in Porto
I work as an editorial and travel photographer based in Porto, Portugal, photographing people, places and everyday life. I work through observation over time, paying attention to the context and to how the photographs work together as a story.
My work in Porto has been published by international media outlets and commissioned by institutions, tourism organisations, and private clients looking for documentary photography. Alongside familiar views, I photograph the city’s communities, cultural life and changing streets.
Through repeated editorial assignments and personal projects developed in Porto, I have built a sustained visual archive of the city that serves both editorial and travel narratives. This continued work gives me local knowledge that I use when planning and carrying out each assignment.
Photography Workshops in Porto with a Documentary Approach
I lead photography workshops in Porto, where I live and work as a documentary photographer. We practise observation and learn to build photographic stories from real situations. Alongside small group workshops, I also offer one-to-one photography sessions in Porto for photographers seeking a more personalised and intensive learning experience.
Both the group workshops and the one-to-one sessions are designed for photographers who want to move beyond isolated, strong images and build coherent stories from everyday life, working with natural light. Group workshops emphasise collective learning, fieldwork, and editing discussions, while one-to-one mentoring allows for a fully customised programme adapted to individual goals, pace, and experience level.
These workshops and private sessions attract international participants who want to develop their photography through practical work in the city. We use Porto’s streets and daily life as the subjects for that work.
Documentary Wedding Photography in Porto
I work as a documentary wedding photographer based in Porto, Portugal, focusing on real moments, natural light, and the rhythm of the day as it unfolds. I photograph what happens without staging or asking people to repeat scenes, paying attention to the atmosphere and the way people interact.
I photograph weddings in Porto’s historic neighbourhoods, riverside spaces, contemporary venues and private homes. I work discreetly within these environments, following events as they happen and recording the people and places involved.
I regularly work with international couples who choose Porto and northern Portugal for destination weddings. Knowing the city and having years of experience in documentary photography helps me plan the coverage and photograph each wedding with care and consistency.
Corporate & Branding in Porto
I work as a corporate and branding photographer based in Porto, Portugal, collaborating with companies, institutions, and organisations to photograph their workplaces and day-to-day activities. I photograph how people and organisations work, aiming for a consistent set of images of their actual activities.
Corporate photography projects in Porto often involve a combination of portraits, workplace documentation, events, and visual storytelling for communication and branding purposes. I work closely with teams to ensure the imagery aligns with their identity and can be used consistently across digital platforms, publications, and internal or external communication.
My experience working with international media and long-term documentary projects informs the way I approach corporate commissions. This experience helps me explain complex activities, processes and working cultures through photographs, for both local companies and international clients operating in Porto.
