Amsterdam, the city of freedom.

This city is really worth the trip... 

So different but so familiar at the same time. 

I'm just sorry that I only had 2 days to see it.

That gives me a reason to come back.... and I will someday.

Click to see more pictures. Enjoy!

Paris is always a good idea

I'm back home. It went by so fast... 

Despite the cold and cloudy days, Paris was dreamy.

It's a really beautiful and grandiose city... and the parisians are so nice!

Definitly want to come back some day.

ON MY WAY

For 8 days I will be travelling through Paris and Amsterdam.

Two amazing but very different cities.

When I come back I hope to have many photos to share with you.

A bientôt!

CONFESSION

 I used to take lots of self-portraits. For a while I stopped.
But today I felt like it...

Sometimes when we don't have nothing to photograph... the only thing left is yourself.

And there is lots of things that you can do... now that I think of it.

So I will try to do more of these. 

What do you think?

Today everything exists to end in a photograph...

In this post you have some portrait inspiration from my tumblr.

Have a great weekend!

BE HEALTHY

source: tumblr

Hi everyone.

I'm trying to have a healthier lifestyle... so I created a new tumblr has a inspirational board.

Having a healthy and balanced diet is not only important for our body but also for our mind. 

Now I have no guilty conscience... and girls, you know how it weights more than an ounce of fat right? 

The best part is that the body begins to lose the extra weight in a more natural process... without starving and continuing to eat tasty food. 

But of course never forget to exercise and move... that will keep us toned and full of energy.

Check out my tumblr FREAKIN' HEALTHY.

It was Inês's first time as a photographic model... and I think she has lots of potencial. Don't you?

What would you take?

The Burning House is a project that I've been following for some time know... but I never got to participate. 

The concept is basically: If you're house was on fire, what would you take with you? 

It's a very original and cool idea. You see so many different images with so many different things people care about. 

It's amazing how things may seen superficial to you,  but for that person could mean the whole world.  

So next week I will take a photo and submit my post on The Burning House site.

How about you? Did you like the project? Are you going to participate?

Here are some of my favourite images:

4 PRETTY BLOGGERS

Hi guys. Sorry about my absence. I'd like to say it was because I was on vacation... but no. Working is more like it... and also 0 photography. This month I will try to change that.

Today I had a different ideia for a post. As you know, I photographed many portuguese bloggers... but if I had money to photograph bloggers all around the world these 4 pretty girls would be my first pick:

Juule Kay from APRETTYPASS

 This girl has an amazing face.. very unique. Also love her hair and she has very natural movements that look beautiful in photography.

Maren from Maren

 Her eyes just say so much... she knows how to react in from of a camera. Amazing expression and bone structure.

Natalie from Natalie of Duty

Well, Natalie is a model so she's a natural... but I just love her exotic looks and simple sexyness. I would definitely love to photographer her!

Levi from TLNIQUE

She's just crazy beautiful... right?

How I missed going to Lisbon. Just walk and take pictures. 

Spent a lovely afternoon with one of my greatest friends.

Hope you like the photos.
