A curated collection of visual moments captured through cinematic lenses, aerial perspectives, and mobile spontaneity. From the streets of Lisbon to remote locations, each image reflects a story, a mood, or a detail that caught my eye. This gallery brings together urban textures, natural landscapes, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and visual experiments that blend client work with personal exploration.
Some photos remain untouched, exactly as they were captured, while others have been cropped, color graded, or subtly treated to enhance atmosphere or emotion. A few images are actually frames extracted from video, chosen for their stillness, composition, or timing.
Lately, I’ve found myself reaching more often for my phone when shooting on the street not only for its portability and immediacy, but also for the convenience and subtlety it allows—especially in places or situations where using a camera might be impractical or unwelcome.
