Luisa Ferreira

I'm Luísa and I'm a portuguese photographer based in the north of Portugal.

Graduated in 2015 and was about to become a Biological Engineer but my heart and mind were not on that path.

I grew in a small town and was always connected to the natural environments around. Slowly I was rediscovering the pleasures of beeing in nature and in the outdoors, alongside with my best ally: the camera. At some point being outside, exploring new places and bringing them with me in images was everything I wanted to do: being outdoors is what moves me and photographing it is the way to materialize the connection I wants to bring out between the open spaces and people.

Further along the way, my attention extended also to the people and their stories. Photography started to be not only about showing, it was also about understanding. That search for deeper connection had its beginning as I was travelled in India and Nepal. Storytelling became a part of the process in its power for change and creating opportunities.
