TWO NEW PHOTOGRAPHERS JOIN 4SEE




Sofia Quintas and Pedro Guimaraes are the new photographers 4SEE represents. To mark the start of our collaboration we have available in our archive three features that they made:

Sofia entered the secret world of Bondage and Sado-Masochism clubs and parties and followed the rituals and practices of their protagonists. Check the photos here.

In our portfolios section we have Sofia's portfolio too.

Photographer Pedro Guimaraes did two photo essays, one about the new faces of China, its contrasts and habits, and another one about nocturne decadence, specially focused on prostitution and human disenchantment. Look at China feature here and "Todas las Noches (Every night)" here

Pedro's Portfolio is also available in our portfolios section.

JOANA MALHEIRO TEST WORKS










As a part of her internship in our agency, Joana has been doing some features. She finished her work about the ballet performance "AmarAmalia" and now she is picturing the life of typical Lisbon neighborhood Bairro Alto.
In the last decade, the Bairro Alto district has seen a return to it's former glory as the most charismatic area of Lisbon's nightlife. Every night, thousands of "pilgrims" fill the numerous bars, restaurants and hot-spots, dripping onto the cobbled labyrintic streets and providing a colourful, multicultural atmosphere. All types of music, easthetic and people can find their particular corner in the Bairro Alto, and still rub shoulders with everyone else.
Joana tried to capture the particular atmosphere of this magical place, visiting 3 of the most distintive atmospheres in the area in three bars. Electronica, Fado, and Goth Metal music styles.

LUIS FAUSTINO PICTURES WILDFIRES








4SEE's intern photographer Luis Faustino has been following the work of the firemen of Mação, one of the portuguese villages that over the last years was most affected with forest fires.
He also shot the life and leisure in "Pego do Inferno", a river beach at Algarve which attracts many visitors, both local and foreign.
