The more I work with different photographers, more I realized the aesthetic I want to pursuit.
I want to be involved in different projects, not really interested about nudity for nudity but to bring something else 'to the table'!

I want to be involved with images that make people look two, three, four times before they get the all picture, like this one I made with Alexandre Cabrita, and tied by Carlos from Knotlounge.


Every time I showed this picture to people, the first reaction was always "What is this?"
And this reaction is what I want to get from people. And I want to feel proud of myself to make people think and question photography.

I respect whom want to work through soft porn or erotic images but to be honest I think that's the easy way to work via nudity. Everyone can shoot frontal nude with anyone, with any camera, any light...
I want to be different! Work differently.
I'm not afraid to be naked in front of a camera with a stranger, and I'm perfectly aware not every one is willing to be naked like that. But I really want to use my 'not afraid of being naked' to make different images, images that make people look and investigate.

Plus I don't really think I have to show my face to make the pictures work. In fact I prefer not to show my face...

By the way, what do you think of this picture?

And enjoy the rest of your day!

Attention today's post include some nudity! Relaxe(ahah) not mine.

Do you know the test of 16 personalities?
In theory, everyone can be resume to 16 types of personalities!
You can check it out here: https://www.16personalities.com

This test can analyze your personality over a few questions, about everyday life issues.
Funny fact, I made this test twice with two states of mind, and got the same result: Advocate!
Incredibly I agree with my result and honestly think is a honest resume about my personality!
Everyone I know who took this test, agree with the result. :)

And have you taken this test? Do you agree with the result? Which personality you got?
And enjoy the rest of your day!

Did you know there’s an app for Portuguese travelers?
The Portuguese government created an app so Portuguese travelers may be safe in any country any time. The app is called “Registo Viajante” (”Traveler Register”) and the name say it all.
You just download, sign-up and you have this app always with you. In case of emergency, just active the emergency button and the system will be activated.



The app is quite light, a little more than 13 mega and seems to be very easy to navigate. The layout is nice and simple.
I already download, sign-in and hopefully never will need it. But just in case, I have an extra safety measurement with me.
Meanwhile, already added my next trip.

What about you? Have you use it? What do you say about it?

And enjoy the rest of your day!

One of my favorites places to be, are museums. Well, I love art so its kind of natural that I love museums. Really love it and I have a couple of favorite museums, funny that they all are in London.
I love National Gallery, British Museum and V&A.

Every-time I'm in London, I have to visit at least one of these museums. And of course I follow them on facebook.
I always fell amazed by painting and National Portrait Gallery has an annual BP Portrait Award and the following video is part of that award/competition.
Look at that talent!!

Everyone looks gorgeous under that light and mastery.
I wished I could paint/draw like that. Really, really wish that.

The artist is Joshua LaRock and this video shows Joshua painting Laura, his wife.
The video is mesmerizing...

Personally I love plants and flours, however I have cats and I didn't know but some plants are not good to have around in your house if you have cats, because they can be poison for cats. And because of that I choose to have only artificial plants in my house...
On the other day, I was having a quick reading of an old magazine from 2014 (!) and came across with a small post about FIU - Jardins Suspensos. Obviously when I arrived home, I had to look for it on the web!

FIU - Jardins Suspensos was created by 2 portuguese landscape architects which loves to work with plants. well, they are landscape architects so they must love to work with plants right?
Ana Miguel and Rui Salgado, started this idea on late 2012 and on 2013 FIU was on full speed cruise. They used the Japanese technique named Kokedama, which consist in involving the roots of the plant in moss than tidy it up with strings so they can be hanged.
This technique allow the plant to be less watered, beside it allows the floor free to other stuff, as the plant is literally in the ceiling.
On my case, I found this amazing because my cats would not be able to reach the plant easily...

If you don't know this concept, here it is a small showcase of FIU - Jardins Suspensos work.
I liked it and a lot!!

Last Christmas I received one particular gift that I enjoy very much! It was handmade chocolate from Equador brand, and I most say it was fantastic!
Normally I don't really appreciate dark chocolate however this one is soooo good that doesn't seams to be dark like other brands taste like.
The paper was so beautiful that I had extra care when I open it, so I would not ruin those beautiful illustrations.
The chocolate is smooth, tasteful and the chocolate bar had half of walnuts on top of it.
I had tasted other 2 flavours and they were (also) amazing.

Those who knows me well, know I love to learn new stuff! I love to meet new people, places, etc. Love!

And I also like to learn to DO new things. Recently I discover, via 'A Luz Ideal' facebook, something super cool and I want to do it soon as possible. I discover "A Avó veio Trabalhar" (translation, The Grandmother went to Work). And who are they?

The Grandmother went to Work is s group of grannies who love to embroider and sew an they also like to share their knowledge who wants to learn with them.
I think is fascinating they want to share their knowledge and keep the contact with young generations.
I totally hope, when the time came I may have this kind of spirit instead of staying in my house watching nonsense tv shows.

I will be alert to find out when will be the next workshop.











And enjoy the rest of your day!
