Andre Furtado

Born in Cascais, a picturesque coastal town in Portugal, I have always been interested in photography.

Although my career in communications didn’t allow me a lot of time to pursue my photography interests, a change of lifestyle gave me this opportunity, and for the last few years I have been studying and understanding more about the world of the still picture.

I began taking photos of the surrounding landscapes and beaches, and have since delved into night photography and wildlife photography, both of which present their own unique challenges.

For me, the journey to capture a moment in a way that tells a story, or creates a feeling for the people viewing it, is what makes photography truly rewarding.

The gift of travelling to new places exploring nature is a joy in itself, the act of photography adds purpose and a creative element to my love of the outdoors.

I truly hope people enjoy my photos, and it takes them somewhere. If not, then at least I enjoyed taking them.
