Portrait

The portraits presented here seek to convey a shared moment, sometimes of a project in progress and other times of commissions or requested photos. In the excerpts of projects, the gaze intertwines with the visual narrative with the intention of engaging the reader.

The portrait is never neutral. It houses the identity of the person posing and the gaze of the one holding the camera. As Dorothea Lange affirmed, “every portrait of another person is a self-portrait of the photographer”.

The portrait thus becomes a hybrid territory: between the intimate and the social, the real and the interpreted. It does not merely seek a faithful copy of the face, but the emotional trace of a shared moment. In this space, portraits are presented that, more than illustrating, propose a way of looking at and understanding others.
