For as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by human relations and the various - and perhaps infinite - forms of communication on which they are built upon. I first studied Communication Science and then photography, because I realised that the way I expressed myself expanded when creating images.
I started as an assistant to a fashion photographer and eventually moved into wedding photography. Simultaneously, I worked as a photojournalist for a local newspaper and a national magazine. I then started documenting performances and artists in their creative processes. I did corporate portraits and events. And, most recently, I became the lead photographer at a creative studio, responsible for communicating brands and visually shaping their identities.
In all this, I ask myself how to portray people, how to access their inner world and mental landscapes, how to communicate a brand in a way that is human. I now understand that the answer to this question will be a constant quest of mine. But as long as I'm searching I am ever changing and growing.
My name is Sara. I'm 30 years old and I'm from a small town by the sea, in Portugal. But first and foremost, I am human - quiet and unquiet, empathetic, impatient, eager. After that, I would call myself a documentalist. In everything that I do that is always what I seek - to create documents for the future. Because to move forward, we must know where we come from.
