Photography in Porto
This gallery presents a selection of colour photographs of Porto produced over more than fifteen years of work in the city. The images come from editorial assignments for international publications, commissions for the Porto and Northern Portugal Tourism Board, projects for public institutions and personal documentary work developed over time.
Much of this material was created for newspapers and magazines such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Libération, Helsingin Sanomat and other international media outlets reporting on the city’s evolution, culture and identity. In parallel, I have photographed Porto extensively for tourism and public communication, producing images that document neighbourhoods, architecture, the riverfront, cultural life and the day-to-day rhythm of the city.
My approach is consistent across all assignments: observe carefully, understand the context and photograph real situations with natural light and no staging. These photographs document the city’s people, spaces and everyday life, without staging scenes for promotional purposes.
This page is updated regularly and includes images available for editorial licensing, institutional use and fine art printing.
This collection presents a black-and-white body of work produced in Porto over several years. It is a personal view of the city, focused on its atmosphere, architecture and quieter everyday situations. The images are not tied to specific assignments; they come from years of observing and returning to the same streets and neighbourhoods.
The photographs emphasise light, geometry and human presence within the city’s architecture. They follow the same principles as my editorial work: observing carefully and photographing real situations with respect for the people involved. Working more slowly gives me time to return to a place and explore different ways of photographing it.
This gallery complements the colour portfolio with a black-and-white study of the city’s textures, daily life and character.
Selected images are available for fine art printing.
