I bought my first camera in 1978, two years after graduation in Medicine, Lisbon. From 1980 to 1991 I worked in South Africa and became a consultant in Internal Medicine. Inspired by the exuberant pathology and by the serene and dignified attitude towards disease and death by black patients, I was moved to record my impressions—a collection of medical photographs of that period is the first subject of this site.

From 2000 to 2008 I was concerned with the abstract depiction of my own body, its textures and sculptural potential explored as an object, stripped of its human identity. During the latter two years of this period, I sequenced some of the photographic series in short films with music. "Abstract body" is the next subject, while the films can be viewed in the "Video" gallery.

From 2008 to date, I have been taking photographs at home aiming at a fantasized illustration of objects and friends or of some interaction with them. My involvement with photography, hence the growth of this collection of photographs, was seriously disturbed during the period from Feb 2010 to Feb 2014 owing to the writing of the book "Universo Programado, uma alternativa ao darwinismo e à religião".

The photographs Mandela/Africa are memories from different occasions.
