The Faces of Lisbon

Lisbon is a city of contrasts—where old meets new, tradition dances with modernity, and every corner holds a story waiting to be told. The Faces of Lisbon is a personal journey through this vibrant metropolis, where I return to my roots as a photographer, reconnecting with the raw, unfiltered moments that black-and-white photography brings. Armed with my camera and a relentless desire to capture life in its purest form, I found myself once again sticking my lens directly into the heart of the city, eye to eye, face to face—right in the faces of its people. This collection is about more than just images; it’s about seizing the unspoken emotions, the fleeting moments, the quiet truths that lie behind every face. There’s something deeply intimate about photographing people on the streets, without pretense, just raw humanity as it unfolds. And in returning to black and white, I strip away distractions, focusing solely on the expressions, the energy, and the stories etched in each face. The Faces of Lisbon is an invitation to witness the city through my eyes—a place where every glance, every wrinkle, and every laugh holds the essence of Lisbon itself. Some come to Lisbon for the history, some for the museums. For me the people are the city. This is a celebration of the people who make this city pulse with life, and a reminder that sometimes, the most powerful stories are told without words.
