Dá Licença is one of those places that it’s simply hard to describe with words . Its story, warm golden light, interior, details .. and hosts!!!
As a time slowly passed I discovered bit by bit and I wanted to stay more, to know more, to hear stories about every single detail. Everything felt distant, I just wanted to be there and soak all that light.

Back in October I traveled to Viseu to photograph Arminho studio for Toc Toc Toc magazine.
Some years ago I visited Raquel e João in Porto and it was so great to meet them and know a bit about their story. In a meantime we worked together and kept contact and I was so excited to see them again.
Their new home is amazing and they are such a creative couple, so spending a day with them was very inspiring. They are full of ideas for work and farm they are working on and I enjoyed listening to all those plans.

I started hearing stories about Paulo more than a year and a half ago, Portuguese boy who came from Sweden and is rocking “bread scene” in Lisbon. Of course I got curious, so …
Interesting thing is that Paulo is IT engineer as well, and he started making bread at home and then he wanted more.. so he worked in local bakery for weekends with aim to learn.
After his daughter was born, he took a time off to think about what to do next, and as usual that resulted in quitting regular job. He started working full time in one of the best bakeries in Stockholm. Not to say he didn’t regret his decision, he was on a place he was stimulate to use creativity and do new things.
Two years ago he was invited to come to Portugal and he packed his bags and came back to his native country with family. And as in every story, things have to get complicate a bit, but at the end ISCO was born.
I have to admit I am there at least once a week, to eat pastry, drink coffee and bring some fresh bread home. Bakery is placed in one of my favorite neighbourhoods in Lisbon, so I have perfect excuse to go there and have a walk or go to cinema.

Slow down and unwind from your busy life and let’s experience new things together.

We will style food scenes, play around with props, gather around the table with delicious and healthy food from the region and talk about photography. And because all creativity starts with a clear mind, mindfulness will play a big part in this 6 day immersive experience.

I spent long weekend at Cabeça da Cabra, place I constantly turn back to. It was a last minute decision and as usual it turn to be very good one.
At the moment I arrived to Maria’s place, a way she care about every person that stay there, I knew that a days that follow will fill my heart with good.
I spent days on the beach, near the ocean, with amazing group of people who attended Surf Camp Maria organised. Some of them are friends and it was a good to meet again and spend time with, and others I met, filled those few days with laugh and good talk.
Filipe cooked amazing meals and I was happy to share kitchen with him again. We all spent long time around the table, followed with a lot of storied and laugh.
Back in April I traveled to Italy with Helene and Paz to work on Spring/Summer campaign for Minois Paris.
I have to admit, it felt more as girls road trip then work. Shooting was at amazing Masseria Moroseta, where I have to go back to stay longer, and beautiful small Ostuni.
Once again I loved working with Paz, that little girl is a heart breaker and amazingly fun.
