Photomanipulation nominee

It is impossible to remain indifferent to Surrealism. This style has a huge impact in us, mainly because this style allow us to enter in the dreaming world, where we can reach the impossibility and that's something que humans are allways trying to reach, the impossible things.

I´m a freelance Photographer from Portugal working in following areas: Conceptual/Creative, Commercial, Architecture, Interiors, Industrial, Decoration Projects, Portrait and Post-Production in Photoshop.

I was always interested in the arts and design, devoting much time to the drawing. Even before I devote to photography I had some influences that followed carefully, for example: MCEscher, Magritte and Salvador Dali.

These three authors have some things in common, they all re-interpreted the world around them in their own way, recreating reality based on optical illusion, so it can be said that are part of a Surrealist style.
