Thank you Asher for your kind comments (as usual).
"Muito cá de casa" is a project a friend and myself we have been developing for perhaps more than a year ago.
The Casa da Cultura (House of Culture) is an old building which have been renovated recently and where artist associations and artists from Setubal gather. There is a little cafeteria (of course) and two rooms for exposures, one on the ground floor and another on the first one.
My friend invited me to make an expo of my portraits about a year ago and since then we have been cooperating.
He invites writers, poets and other important people from the cultural area to talk and expose while I take portraits of them all with some kind of book or publication at the horizon. An exposition also is possible.
The invitations happens not every week but rather each 15 days or so...
So, my "mission" is to take portraits of them all after the lecture.
José Eduardo Agualusa is among them. You can make a visit at the gallery
here if you wish.
I am always a bit stressed when it comes to make the photographs. Always in a hurry. It is always past mid-night and everybody wants to go out for a drink or whatever. I must have everything ready and (now) I usually photograph in a sound studio with black walls and ceiling, but rather short in length...
Thank you for your interest Asher !
