2011.

2011 began as a year of much recognition. It was the year I received a new model in my work, Stééph 'Narcissus (Pro Models). Thanks to this model my work has evolved considerably since she lived the concept of fashion. It was fantastic to work with the French of Portuguese origin. I am somewhat grateful for the people who contributed to my development as a photographer.

The Dutch

My family and personal life has been finding many difficulties such as loneliness of living alone for many years. I created many barriers when it comes to friendships, or just do not give my trust without first realizing that kind of person. I am a very lonely sometimes.
Already a later stage of my work, I met a lady named Carla Paias. This lady came to my job to introduce the concept of Makeup, which was very rewarding for me. She had a knack for doing the work of stylist, joining pieces and recreate ancient concept.
The work that follows is inspired by a Dutch farmer.

A Holandesa.

A minha vida familiar e pessoal conta com inúmeras dificuldades que fui encontrando, como a solidão de viver muitos anos sozinho. Criei varias barreiras no que se refere a amizades, ou seja, não dou logo a minha confiança sem, primeiro, perceber que tipo de pessoa é. Sou uma pessoa por vezes muito solitária.
Já numa fase mais avançada do meu trabalho conheci uma senhora chamada Carla Paias. Esta senhora veio introduzir ao meu trabalho o conceito de Makeup, o que para mim foi muito gratificante. Ela tinha jeito para fazer o trabalho de stylist, juntar peças e recriar conceito antigos.
O trabalho que se segue é inspirado numa agricultora Holandesa.

About me.

I can say that for me, photography is about the reason I live. It is a longstanding passion, having been born about my six years. Beside the nursery where I had walked a gallery. I began to see many exhibitions of painting and photography. That said, I can say that first came the inspiration for the painting and that I, I've been devoting years to come with the plastic arts. One of the biggest prizes in painting that I received was a job at Unicef ​​in Sao Tome, an illustrator of educational books.
With my arrival in Portugal continei to devote myself to painting but with an urge to get me to devote to photography. and so began my career in photography but with a device with a somewhat low quality, and, months later suriram changes in my work equipment, or buy a better quality.
I have won several awards in some garelias Art Pic worldwide.
Shortly after this development of my career came a proposal from Editorial vougue. I am very happy with my recent recognition in vougue since, I have a photograph belonging to the archives of vougue Italy.

For me, all my photographs tell a story about fashion.

How it all began.


I started shooting in late 2008, after recovering from an accident that I almost took his life. After this accident I felt the need to return the arts, since it had been self didacta artist during my childhood, so I felt the need to mess around with color and image. It was then that I discovered the photograph that you have people in my family who worked as models helped this descoberta.A my art comes when I bought a brand Casio digital machine that still works though not much quality. I liked a lot of pictures so I decided to start contacting people making calls to photograph me, being a stage that was not easy, since they came to refuse my invitation because I am black. At first, I felt very bad about it but never gave up my dream. I took many photographs and used photoshop to aperfeiçoamento.Posso always say that this photographic work is my 1st job, because after the publication of these photos many people began to follow my work, I speak of experience with more photographers and models. At the time of the session model that appears in the photos had not even want to shoot, but after this work, she began working with a modeling agency (Face Model). For me it was very rewarding, because my pictures are no longer just stay on my computer but also became part of the book of the model in agência.Esse work was done by myself and a friend of this model and did a make up base. my special thanks to Ana and Inês.
