THE LAST SECRET OF EUROPE
Sooner or later you’ll ask yourself why a trip to Portugal and not Spain or Italy? Well, this is for sure the unknown partner in the Mediterranean culture pot. I search for uniqueness and truth as a photographer, and that’s what this tour is all about. What makes Portugal’s heart so cool to capture on camera?
With a long history of resistance (the oldest frontiers in Europe), fighting for his independence this land has created a very special atmosphere, a soul of its own! The witnesses of this past are old castles (like Almourol or Évora-Monte), poor and noble villages (like Sortelha or Piodão) but also the vibrant live of the cosmopolitan and multicultural city of Lisbon. Portugal is also a place of hidden treasures like Sintra or magic Buçaco. Granite, Lime stone or Marble revealed by the famous light of this Atlantic shores.
Many cinema directors have mentioned that in such a small area the landscape can change dramatically. Start your day in wide clear planes, and next minute… stay on top of a high dark mountain. Experience new places, feel the untamed Nature and and create art photos from this country known as the last secret of Europe. Where rich and poor, old and new, soft and hard, drama and joy co-exist in the frame.
