Mariana, Localgrapher in Porto

Style:

My style is relaxed, happy and emotional. It is a blend of lifestyle and fine art photography. I love photographing intense feelings such as laughs, kind gestures and authentic passionate looks.

Likes:

I love meeting people and analyzing different ways of being. Photography allows me to access the most authentic side of each one. Walking in the fresh countryside and in a beautiful beach are two of my biggest pleasures in life. I am a massive fan of 80’s pop and rock music from the UK (as well as some other European and American hits). My heart melts when I see dogs and elephants. I love traveling, typical cuisine from around the world, European cinema, home decoration, dancing, reading, writing and – above all – having fun.

Recommended places:

Ribeira, Ponte D. luis – D.Luís Bridge (historic bridge with an amazing landscape), Serra do Pilar (located above Ponte D.Luís), Cais de gaia (so you can have the beautiful Ribeira as well as lovely boats as the background of your pictures), Clérigos Tower Rua das Flores (and other nearby old streets), Avenida dos Aliados Estação de São Bento (Historic train station), Sé do Porto Palácio de Cristal (It has beautiful gardens with an amazing view to Douro River), Foz do Douro (gardens and beach), Matosinhos Beach Parque da Cidade And many more..
