“What takes a newly graduated doctor to abandon Portugal and go to Paris? Disappointed with the situation in Portugal, regretting the choice of degree or the courage to runaway with his lover, the photography?
(…)
This runway starts in 1982 and will last to 1984, the period use by the young doctor to remain in Paris chasing Portuguese emigrants, searching for a set of images that could witness and deliver social understanding about them.
(…)
Intense months. Magnum Agency was supervising the work. (…) Never before a Portuguese photographer had this chance.”
Translated from a text written by Luiz Carvalho (the complete version, in portuguese can be found here).
