—Sometimes it's the endless hours of photo editing.

—Qual será o futuro da fotografia?

—Too insane to imagine.

—O que há de especial para si, no género de fotografia em que se especializou?

—I love capturing people's real emotions. My photoshoots involve short walks, dancing, playfullness, movement etc. All of it makes it so much more real and special.

—Como lida com as críticas?

—At frst I laugh, cry, hate all at the same time for a brief second and then I try to understand the critizism, is it a reliable source to change something, to learn from it and is it something I benefit from.
Because sometimes criticism comes from clients who simply want to haggle with price.

—Quais deveriam ser os critérios considerados pelo cliente na escolha de um fotógrafo?

—Portfolio is a big part of it, but make sure you like the person!Now matter how well a photographer offers you guidance or ideas during the photo shoot, if you don't feel comfortable with them, you won't get the desired result.

—O que não é permitido de todo ao fotografar?

—Starting to shoot from minute 1. If I have new clients, I take 10 minutes to walk to the destination and simply chat. With those ten minutes they forget that I am a stranger and real peronalities and emotions start to surface.

—I always notice bad posture or tension. I have my own little tricks to eliminate such things.

—Rankin, I'd be happy to just look at him shoot too.

—Como define o sucesso? Como o afere?

—Success = satisfaction
You measure it with your own happiness.

—Camera and drone gear. I don't think I need to explain.

Also, working with other photographers and scrolling through good photography on Instagram is a good way to get the idea juices flowing.

—Wish I could photograph it ;)

—A quem é que não respeita?

—Peope who complain about things they could change while sitting down and doing nothing.

—Quando é que fica completamente satisfeito com o seu trabalho?

—This happens very rarely. I'm very happy with my work pretty much all the time, but I feel like there is always space for improvement. I could be doing this for 60 years and I would still feel te same way.

—Acredita nos papéis tradicionais reservados ao homem e à mulher?

—What's traditional? What does it mean? Traditions are different all over the world, they mostly come into our lives trhough media, through other people or from a different timeframe. If people and pretty much everything else evolve with time, why shouldn't the roles for men and women. So no, I do not believe in them in a way that makes the media a clickmagnet nowadays. I trust in nature and I believe men and women are different, they should celebrate it, but their right to do things have to be equal!
