My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Portugal | Thursday, July 4, 2013 | 5 photos

I am an architect and have always used photography as a means of support and communication of my work. For 4 years I intensified the photographic activity. Photographic sharing sites such as Flickr provided the encouragement and digital photography the means. I still use an Hasselblad 501cm for film photography but digital permits a wider and faster aproach . What I prefer to do is reportage of urban places and architecture, focusing on explaining and interpreting those places. Discovering ways of interpreting natural places and portrait are also in my scope.Training as an architect I believe is a plus in reading relationships between things. Finally I believe to be very good at building sequences that characterize a site and have the technical quality to fulfill the youth desire of being a good travel photographer, able to synthesize one interpretation of a site and communicate it in a set of photographs.
