Exploring the relationships between living beings and the places that shape them.

“I’m drawn to unscripted moments and to places where stories reveal themselves organically.”

[ About Me ]

My work is rooted in attention to place, atmosphere, behavior, and the subtle relationships between people, animals, and environments.

I’m interested in the quieter side of things. Changing landscapes. Field conditions. The small details that shape how a place feels and how a story unfolds.

Alongside long-form personal work, I’m open to selected editorial commissions and field-based assignments in Portugal and beyond.

[ Support & Features ]

My work has been supported or featured by teams in conservation, media, and design.

"João has been integral in supporting and facilitating the release of sea turtles that arrived in the UK cold-stunned. This project, while still in its infancy, would not have been successful without João’s support."
