Patient, quiet and usually slightly to the left

My grandfather was a pharmacist who photographed every family lunch for forty years. Nobody looked at the camera. That box of prints taught me what matters: the in-between, the laughter just after the joke, a hand on a shoulder.

I work alone or with my second shooter Tomás, never with an entourage. I dress like a guest, move slowly and keep my camera low. Many of your guests will not realise I was there until they see themselves in the gallery.

When I am not at weddings, I photograph makers and places for magazines and teach a small film workshop every spring in Alentejo.
