My first camera (a 2 megapixel camera) was a birthday gift. In the beginning, photography helped me with my drawing. I started to photograph outside, so I could photograph my painting subject and look at my monitor inside, rather than having to spend all day outside with the sheet of paper and the pencil in my hands. It was comfortable to start using the camera that way.<\/p>\n<p>Then I started to be more and more interested in photography and now I\u2019m a full time photographer.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;15079&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<strong>Is photography your hobby or your profession?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u00b4m a professional photographer based in Portugal, working in the commercial areas such as architecture, interior, industrial, product and advertising. At the same time, I create my own personal creative projects, where I study a concept and normally I use some or a lot of post-production in Photoshop.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;15087&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<strong>How and where was the image taken which you entered to the competition? Is there a story about it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My three images were taken in studio. Two of them have a lot of manipulation (title: \u201cErdbeere\u201c\/Strawberry and \u201cAkrobatische Tomaten\u201c\/Acrobatic Tomatoes). To create the other one (\u201cRote Scheiben\u201c\/Red Slices), I cut all the objects and painted all of them with red spray. So, in this one, there are no photographic manipulation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;15039&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<strong>Who and\/or what inspires you most?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I really like to try to do something unusual, for me it\u2019s what makes sense nowadays, so our images have impact on the viewers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your photographic focus?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Right now I\u2019m very connected to images with strong messages.
