A Weekend to Remember
Last weekend, the picturesque town of Golegã, the heart of Portugal’s horse country, set the stage for an incredible photography event. This memorable experience was brought to life with the support of @fujifilmxpt and @colorfoto. We came together to celebrate art, community, and the evolution of photography, capturing breathtaking moments through a medium format lens that left a lasting impression.
The Joy of Photographing Fellow Photographers
One of the things I enjoy most is taking portraits of fellow photographers—it’s a great way to break the ice. Last weekend in Golegã, I faced a unique challenge: photographing the photographers themselves. Thanks to the support of @fujifilmxpt and @colorfoto, this incredible event became a space not just for capturing the world around us, but for turning the lens inward, celebrating the artists who often shy away from being the subject.Finding Authenticity Behind the Camera
Photographers, myself included, are known for avoiding the front of the camera. There’s a certain vulnerability that comes with stepping out from behind the lens. Yet, in those fleeting moments of hesitation and laughter, I found something deeply authentic. Each portrait I captured in Golegã wasn’t just about taking a photo; it was about honoring those who make the art of photography possible—highlighting the bonds we share and the passion that drives us.
A Heartfelt Thank You
A heartfelt thank you to @fujifilmxpt, @colorfoto, and @edulima_colorfoto for making this celebration of our community unforgettable. As both a speaker and participant, I had the unique opportunity to share this moment on multiple levels—intellectually and creatively—crafting portraits that go beyond simple images. They are a tribute to the dedication and spirit of the artists who stepped into the spotlight, even if just for a moment.Embracing Vulnerability and Growing Together
Here’s to embracing that vulnerability, capturing the unseen stories behind the camera, and growing together as a creative community! In the midst of this celebration, I had the pleasure of reconnecting with old friends and forming new connections, all while taking on the unique challenge of photographing fellow photographers. Each portrait I captured holds a story, preserving cherished memories and showcasing our collective passion for the art of photography.
Looking Forward to More Adventures
A special thank you goes out to @fujifilmxpt, @colorfoto, and @edulima_colorfoto for making these moments unforgettable. Your commitment to nurturing a community of artists is nothing short of inspiring. As both a speaker and a photographer at this event, I was privileged to offer a unique perspective, contributing to our vibrant intellectual and artistic community. These portraits go beyond simple images; they are stories of the diverse and passionate individuals who came together, elevating the experience to something extraordinary. Here’s to many more events where we can continue to share, learn, and grow together in our love for photography! #PhotographyIsArt #PhotographersInFocus #GolegãAdventures #FujifilmFamily
