about me

My passion for writing and photography started in school days. I write and photograph professionally since back in the eighties, for newspapers, magazines, books, online. From aviation to zen photography, from technology to nature gazing. I've written for various newspapers - Diário de Notícias, Diário Popular, A Capital, Público, Sete, Blitz, Correio da Manhã, Expresso and many others - and for magazines as Mais, Sábado, DN Magazine, Tempo Livre, Descobrir, Visão, Exame Informática, Única, Bit, Correio da Natureza and others.
I was one of the founders of the most important videogames and photography magazines in Portugal - MegaScore and Fotodigital - and for six years executive editor of an aviation magazine, Sirius. I've written books about Photography and Virtual Worlds and more recently eBooks.
I am the News Editor at the professional videographers website Pro Video Coalition. I am also a columnist for Manfrotto School of Xcellence, and, in a completely different area, I also write about drones for Commercial UAV News.
I keep exploring an area of Portugal, around what I call the Atlantic Realm, a coast line that is, legend says, what remains from Atlantis. I currently offer two flower photography workshops, although they are on hold due to the pandemic. Besides these I also offer a home learning photography workshop, 3 levels and 12 modules, a total of more than 60 hours of photographing, reading and editing, which is ideal for this pandemic period. The workshop, though, is in Portuguese. I keep a website, Photography & Context (Fotografia & Contexto) which caters mostly for Portuguese speaking photographers interested in my services,.
