Paulo Albuquerque

I am an independent photographer. Photography is not my main income source, so I really can afford to pursue my own ideas, I don't make any effort whatsoever to try and fit any style or visual language.

First and foremost I like to experiment and to record my personal viewpoint on things. I always try to find an original angle to look on reality. Obviously there are masters I admire, themes that are closer to me.

I started toying around with photography in analog times, I still value film a lot. It has great potential. I do realize that the possibilities that digital gives you. It's much easier (cheaper) to get experienced. You can get things done in a more deterministic fashion.

Things I like: The grain you get on celluloid film. Wrinkles on a person's face. Real expressions on people. Truth beyond the first look.

I am here to try and find models (that part is somewhat obvious). I have projects that I want to materialize. I want to find partners to shape a lot of half-baked ideas running around my head. Also, I want to simply get better at photographing people. I don't charge anything, but sorry I won't photograph your wedding.
