Photomanipulation nominee

Pollution has been a huge problem for a long time that affects the entire planet earth and our lives. It is a difficult problem to solve and its reduction would require a break in industry and production, which is also difficult to achieve. The air is becoming less and less healthy and even unbreathable even in some parts of the world. Will we one day have to find alternative solutions to get some fresh air? Pollution is causing the climate change and global warming and this has a direct impact on animal life, which often lack the ability to adapt to changes caused by man. As a result, we may be irreversibly endangering animal life and their habitats.

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.
