I was born in Portugal but "grew up" in Canada. I studied surveying, mapping and aerial photography at university and worked on it for many years. I undertook a degree in Visual Arts - photography and was fortunate to learn from the best. I partially paid for the BA by covering weddings. Practically, most Saturdays of every month, I would drive to where the bride's place and start photographing her, her family, and the bride's maids. From there, was the church, etc. I did all that on film using a medium-format camera. I graduated and stopped wedding work. For several years, I dedicated my time to street photography, whenever possible, and I would work at night. The quasi-emptiness of the streets, the solitary figures, the fading light and the shadows were, are beacons difficult to resist.

For personal reasons, I stopped working with photography in 1990 but returned to it in the mid-2010s. The first digital cameras I used did not excite me. However, by late 2010, things in the camera design and manufacturing world had changed, I became interested in photography again and tried my hand at digital photography. My photographic interests lie most with B&W and street photography, occasionally I participate in concepts and cover documentaries. I continue to like working during the night, it is my favourite time to photograph.

I have started as a serious hobbyist photographer in 2000 when I acquired my first digital SLR, a Nikon D1…a 2.7 mp camera. I also acquired Adobe PS 5.0. I am self taught with the PS software program and have advanced to PS 4….not that I am completely aufeit with it but it kept me up to date and I am looking forward to learn a lot more.

I am a member of the Photographic Society of South Africa and my preference is wildlife/nature photography. I have also achieved a PSSA Honours in both prints and E photography (digital projection). The above was achieved in wildlife/nature photography.

I am looking forward to artistic creations and other photo categories. Of late I have started manipulating wildlife images and enjoy the creativity of it….I like doing it so that a viewer cannot spot the obvious alteration….the image is entered as "altered reality" for ethical reasons.

I learned photography in high school, and it quickly became my passion. While raising our kids, I didn't have much time to dedicate to photography, and as a result, I traded in my SLR camera for point-and-shoots to capture their activities and family events. However, as the children grew up and left home, I found myself with more time and rekindled my interest in photography. I purchased an M-4/3 digital camera and started relearning and honing my photography skills. Today, after several upgrades, my main camera is still an M-4/3 camera, accompanied by a collection of lenses ranging from 12 to 400 mm (24-800 mm f.f.e).
