HELENA GARCÍA
I am Helena García, born in France in 1976.
As a descendant of a Spanish father and a Portuguese mother, both immigrants, I spent my childhood in the lands of Contrexéville, Segovia and Valongo; in 1986 I moved to Portugal.
I have a degree in Management Consulting and I work as an administrative office secretary in a small company.
I love photography and nature (landscapes and nature are my favorite subjects). In this world of photography, I am a self-taught amateur. I have enjoyed taking pictures since I was a child to capture moments. I try to photograph various subjects, but nowadays it is in nature, between walks, immensity and solitude, that I dedicate myself most to photography.
I attended, back in the analogue era, the Basic Photography Course developed by the Portuguese Institute of Photography (IPF, Porto). I participated in a group exhibition by Júlio Aires.
JOANA NEVES
An engineer by training, she is a photographer by passion. Her images, mostly in black and white, are dominated by light-shadow contrasts and geometric shapes that she finds mainly in the streets, urban architecture and landscapes.
She regularly participates in the collective Fotografar Palavras, a project that combines literature and photography.
JÚLIO AIRES
Júlio Aires is a multifaceted artist with a diverse career in design and photography. Born in Viseu in 1963, he showed a strong connection to the arts and culture from a young age, which led him to participate in various cultural initiatives in his hometown.
In the 1980s, he joined the Cooperativa Árvore in Porto, an important space for the development of art and culture in the city, and later deepened his studies by attending the Communication Design course at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto (FBAUP).
Although he began his professional career in the field of Design, with various projects developed over the years, Júlio Aires also nurtured a growing interest in photography. To further his knowledge in this area, he attended one of the courses offered by the Portuguese Institute of Photography (IPF) in Porto.
In recent years, he has dedicated his energy to photography, carrying out a series of projects that resulted in several solo and group exhibitions. His photographic work reflects the evolution of his passion for visual arts and capturing significant moments.
This journey and dedication to art make Júlio Aires a relevant figure in the contemporary artistic scene, both in the fields of design and photography.
LUÍS MARQUES
Luis Marques was born in 1967 in Miragaia, in the city of Porto.
I have been an amateur photographer since 1998. I developed a taste specifically for macro photography, discovering what cannot be seen with the naked eye, which is what fascinates me the most. As an observer, I also do other types of photography, such as street photography, sports and landscapes, etc., and have also participated in some collective exhibitions.
MANUEL TAVARES
My name is Manuel Tavares, born in Matosinhos, 66 years old and graduated in engineering.
My interest in photography began in 2018, with a focus on black and white street photography.
Walking through the streets and paying attention to people's daily lives, I try to document unique moments, tell visual stories, while trying to create the best framing of the city as a backdrop. In my short experience, street photography is a solitary act that allows me being aware of the unreal moments that can occur.
