Coleção: Ricardo Reis
When I started, I wanted to be a war photographer, but in my home country of Portugal, it’s hard to make the connections needed to achieve that. I was fortunate to get an internship at a daily newspaper in Portugal, which led to my work being published in several major newspapers and magazines. I began working more in fashion photography and was assigned to the fashion weeks in Europe. During the shows, I found that I always preferred the backstage area where I had more freedom to do different things, take more risks.
Photography has been the driving force behind all my creative pursuits. My love of music, music photography and music videos comprises a large part of my work. As a cinematographer/director for album and DVD covers, I collaborate with several European photography agencies in Portugal and the UK.
The more artistic side of my work is represented in several countries and in private collections, from USA,UK,France,Canada,Netherlands.
