About

Hi, I’m Rui!

I’m a passionate photographer and videographer with a deep love for traveling and sharing stories. I grew up in northern Portugal, where my fascination with creating images began. Over time, I’ve discovered that what truly moves me is the quiet poetry of everyday scenes—the interplay of light and shadow, the grainy textures of the ordinary, and the way they come together to create subtle, meaningful stories through images.

It's all about the journey!

For me, it’s all about exploring new places, chasing natural light, and finding those quiet, raw moments around me that convey a feeling. Photography is not just something I do, it’s how I see and interact with the world. From the initial click of the shutter to developing the final image, I’m always seeking to create photos that make you feel connected to the moment, as if you were there.

My work is deeply rooted in the exploration of nature, light, and the narrative aspects of photography.

I am constantly inspired both by the quiet beauty in landscapes, and the subtle narratives found in everyday life.

Every image has a story to tell!

Each image I capture is a reflection of my personal journey—an attempt to evoke emotion, tell a story, and document the world through a lens that seeks to find beauty in both the grand and the mundane. I find that photography is not just about the destination but about the process of discovery, connection, and the journey to get there.

My aim is to create images that are not just seen, but felt.

To create images that linger in the mind and stir something deeper. I want each photograph to evoke a connection, drawing the viewer into its quiet narrative, where light, texture, and emotion converge to tell a story that words cannot.

Chasing my true Passion!

I’ve taken the chance to turn my passion into a full-time pursuit, and it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Every day is an adventure, where I can focus on sharing my stories with you. So, if you love atmospheric images with a bit of grit and soul, you’re in the right place!
