Multiple Fernando Pessoa - Photo: Mário Pires

Yesterday was Fernando Pessoa birthday, so i made a little homage to his 3 best known heteronyms.

I used Camera+ to take the photos, of some book covers with his picture, processed them in Halftone and layered them in Photoforge2.

The iphone as a portrait device II

by Mário Pires 30.05.2011 Art

On the previous post, i talked about the genesis of this portrait series, but after the general theme i needed to narrow it down further, and decide who to photograph and where to find them.

by Mário Pires 01.03.2011 Fotografia

From the moment i surpassed an “amateur” mindset and started to think about the concept of a “series”, i’ve never been able to work differently. Even when i’m not consciously thinking about it, after some time, a series emerges and i can’t help [...]

by Mário Pires 21.02.2011 Art

I just bought this book, and i recommend it for anyone who thinks that photographers have a easy life. It’s hard to do excellent work, it takes a lot of energy, determination and team work.

A fotografia em Portugal é um “café de bairro” ?

by Mário Pires 16.02.2011 Artes

Ao ler a entrada sobre Gérard Castello-Lopes no blog Arte Photographica, reparei logo na passsagem onde José Manuel Rodrigues ao falar sobre Gérard Castello-Lopes diz: “passávamos horas e horas a discutir fotografia”.
