He uses the image as a tool for investigation, memory, and creation, in a process that values time, everyday life, and human relationships as the core material of his artistic practice.<\/p>\n<p>He has participated in culturally significant projects in S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe, having worked as the official photographer of the 10th Biennial of Arts and Culture of S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe and the Festival of the Islands of the World, both promoted by the Ro\u00e7a Mundo Association. These experiences contributed to the development of his authorial vision and to the consolidation of an approach sensitive to the insular and post-colonial context, both in his documentary work and in his portraits.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, he began his personal documentary photography project in the locality of S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o dos Angolares. In this project, he visually investigated the everyday life and social dynamics of the community, exploring issues of identity, territory, and belonging through a narrative built with documentary images and profound portraits of its inhabitants.<\/p>\n<p>His work lies at the intersection of documentation and artistic creation, with an interest in collaborative processes, the relationship between image and territory, and documentary and portrait photography as means of critical and poetic reflection on the realities he observes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column icons_position=&#8221;left&#8221;][vc_masonry_media_grid css=&#8221;&#8221; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1775206332357-6daac824-eedc-6&#8243; include=&#8221;28448,28450,28452&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":28451,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[168],"tags":[275,295],"class_list":["post-28447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-portfolios","tag-2026-en","tag-ongoing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28447"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28447\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28455,"href":"https:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28447\/revisions\/28455"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
