A convite da Comunidade Intermunicipal do Ato Minho, passei alguns meses a percorrer as Ecovias que cruzam dez municípios do Norte de Portugal, entre os rios Minho e Lima. O trabalho começou no início do outono e prolongou-se até ao final de um inverno particularmente chuvoso - um desafio constante à criatividade, ao estado de espírito e ao equipamento fotográfico.
Andei de bicicleta, caminhei longamente debaixo de neve, vi lobos e lontras, mergulhei num Atlântico alteroso para acompanhar surfistas. E assim surgiram as 95 imagens que deram forma ao livro Um Olhar Sobre o Alto Minho.
Invited by the Inter-Municipal Community of Alto Minho, I explored the Ecovias (cycle paths) that cross ten municipalities, lying between the Minho and Lima rivers in North Portugal. My work started in early autumn and lasted until the end of a very rainy winter - a constant challenge to mood, creativity and the camera.
I rode a bike, I walked for a long time in snow, I saw wolves and otters, I dived in a rough Atlantic sea to track surfers. And so came to be the 95 pictures that formed the book Um olhar sobre o Alto Minho.
