Fala outras línguas?

Sim. Falo fluentemente português, francês e inglês. Trabalho frequentemente com clientes internacionais e dou workshops nas três línguas.

Vivo e trabalho no Porto, onde realizo a maioria dos meus workshops e sessões fotográficas. No entanto, trabalho também regularmente em Lisboa e noutras regiões de Portugal. Dado o pequeno tamanho do país e a facilidade de mobilidade atualmente, estou disponível para trabalhos em qualquer parte do mundo.

Acompanha as tendências atuais?

Sim. Acompanho e integro continuamente as tendências atuais e futuras na fotografia e na tecnologia. Nos últimos anos, investi na produção de vídeo e em conteúdos híbridos, como nos projetos “Ukraine at War”, a “Travessia de África em Bicicleta Elétrica” e “Echoes of the Thousand Hills”, onde combinei fotografia documental e vídeo para criar narrativas visuais mais completas. Acompanho também de perto as inovações na área da imagem, incluindo inteligência artificial, métodos de edição e formatos imersivos. Criei histórias visuais a 360º para o The New York Times e procuro sempre entregar trabalhos exigentes, completos e distintos.

Qual é a sua filosofia profissional?

O meu trabalho é guiado pela autenticidade, pelo respeito e por um profundo compromisso com a narrativa visual. Acredito em captar momentos e emoções reais que transmitam a identidade e os valores de pessoas, lugares e organizações. Cada projeto é desenvolvido com dedicação, criatividade e profissionalismo, com o objetivo de entregar imagens que ressoem e perdurem. Procuro continuamente a inovação e a aprendizagem para garantir que a minha fotografia evolui com o tempo, mantendo sempre a sua essência.

Who is Daniel Rodrigues?

I am an award-winning documentary photographer and photojournalist, recipient of the World Press Photo award in the Daily Life category in 2013. In 2015, I was recognized as one of the top three photojournalists in the world by POYi (Picture of the Year International), and in 2017, I was named the best Ibero-American photographer by POY Latam. With over 15 years of experience, I work across documentary, travel, editorial, institutional, and fine art photography. My work has been featured in The New York Times, Al Jazeera, Washington Post, and more. I have worked in more than 30 countries, collaborating with brands, institutions, and organizations across multiple sectors. I have extensive experience in tourism, visual journalism, social photography, and culturally impactful projects.

Do you speak other languages?

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.

Do you keep up with current trends?

Yes. I continuously follow and integrate current and future trends in photography and technology. In recent years, I have 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 have created 360º visual stories for The New York Times and always aim to deliver demanding, complete, and distinctive work.

What is your professional philosophy?

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.

Where do the workshops take place?

In Porto, Lisbon, Istanbul, Marrakesh and Mumbai. Other cities open when five people confirm interest.

How long is a workshop and how many people are in the group?

Four full days. Groups are limited to eight participants, and an edition runs with a minimum of five confirmed.

How much does a workshop cost?

Between 700 and 785 euros per person, depending on the city. A deposit of 25 per cent secures the place.

What is included in the fee?

Four days of guidance in the street, theory each morning, daily review and group critique, individual feedback, and your page on the workshop platform.

What is not included?

Flights, transport, accommodation, meals, insurance and personal expenses.

Do I need an expensive camera?

No. Any camera with manual control works. Most participants shoot the four days on a single lens around 28mm, 35mm or 50mm.

Is the workshop suitable for beginners?

It suits anyone who already knows the basics of their camera and can change aperture, shutter and ISO while walking. The focus is on seeing and narrative rather than technical fundamentals.

What language is the workshop in?

Most editions are taught in English. French speaking editions run in partnership with Arvia.

What happens if it rains?

The plan adapts and we keep photographing. Rain changes the light and often improves the work.

What do I leave with at the end?

A documentary story about the city, edited and sequenced, rather than a folder of separate pictures.

Do we review the photographs during the workshop?

Yes. Every morning the previous day's photographs go on the screen and are discussed frame by frame with the whole group.

Can I bring someone who does not photograph?

Yes. Companions are welcome and manage their own time during the shooting sessions. The fee applies only to participants.

Does the platform close when the workshop ends?

No. Your page stays open with no time limit. If you shoot a series months later you can upload it and receive an honest reading of it.
