Photomanipulation nominee

The world of dreams are all the time connected to our lives. This project is the materialization of that, trying to represent the dreams, unreal worlds and other aspect we are only able to see in our own dreams.

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.
