&lt;p&gt;My car always represented my freedom. A series about expressing this feeling always lived inside my car. A view of the world while I am simply passing by…A work of iphoneography in progress.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;small&quot;&gt;O meu carro sempre representou a minha liberdade. Esta s&#233;rie expressa este sentimento que sempre vivi dentro do meu carro. Uma vis&#227;o do mundo, enquanto estou simplesmente a conduzir e a passar…Um trabalho de iphoneografia em progresso.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

            <title>LU&#205;S PINTO | Fighting for a life</title> 
            <link>http://www.theportfolioproject.org/luispinto/fighting_for_a_life</link> 
            <description>
              &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/luispinto/fighting_for_a_life"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/img/s3/v26/p655760096-3.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The kids start to arrive, one or two at a time. Young kids, 15 to 18 years old. Some arrive in silence; others talk about the school, or about their work; or about the school and their work; or about girls and cars; about their dreams.&lt;br/&gt;They respectfully greet the staff at the entrance and, as they cross the small hall, they are involved by a spartan decoration, anticipating the kind of ambience you will perceive long before the day is finished. There is the inevitable statue of Jos&#233; Marti, a small table with a chess game, just waiting for two opponents, and a first-aid box at one corner. Their eyes cannot avoid looking at the wall were they can see a few hanged pictures from famous fighters that started their professional life at these premises. These, along with the low wooded ceiling, both convey a certain sense of intimacy.&lt;br/&gt;As they cross the door on the other end of the hall, they have to readjust their eyes to the intense blue sky that covers the internal open space where the boxing ring is located. Covered by a metal roof, the ring clearly dominates the space. The surrounding yellow walls are old and dirty. No fancy equipment on the walls. Nor shower facilities. Just the barely essential. Like the line of old tires, hanging from the wall at slightly different heights. &lt;br/&gt;The space is quiet. You can hear the sounds from the street over the wall, while they prepare themselves. They dress what they can afford. Sometimes an old equipment, others just a pair of shorts made from a pair of old blue jeans.&lt;br/&gt;Boxing tradition in Cuba is a long one. One of the things that make this sport so special in Cuba is the lack of professional boxing. All professional sports were banned with the revolution. And as such, boxing does not promise high salaries nor a sumptuous house or the last flaming car. But in the Olympic Games, Cuban boxers can bring more medals than all other countries together. Promising boxers are pitched early, thanks to an effective selective system, which starts in first grade schools.&lt;br/&gt;Life is not easy in Cuba. Getting punched during the training sessions is like a coaching session for the real life outside the boxing school. And these kids apply themselves to the hard study. A one hour session each day. Sometimes two sessions per day. They sweat their souls out. They try to prove themselves and others that they are capable of something more in their life. On a country were opportunities for a better life are scarce as water on the desert, they literally fight for a better future.&lt;/p&gt;

            <title>CARLOS BARRADAS | Nacional Um</title> 
            <link>http://www.theportfolioproject.org/carlosbarradas/nacionalum</link> 
            <description>
              &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/carlosbarradas/nacionalum"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/img/s7/v8/p82888040-3.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Shot throughout my return to home after teaching some 60km far away, this essay displays the road that has been my companion during the last 3 years, the Nacional 1. It was, long before highways were built, Portugal’s most important road, connecting the two major Portuguese cities, Lisbon and Oporto. As an anthropologist and a photographer, it has always intrigued me, especially in a contemporary context, in which only the great routes of communication (either physical, such as highways, or virtual) have undeniable value. This led me to think of other kinds of routes, smaller and less visible, that over time have lost prominence in the flow of people and goods. Some, however, resist this removal of importance and are often a repository of socio-cultural characteristics or, I dare to say, have some kind of memory. The voyages, transactions and other initiatives that are settled in any roadside restaurant, the trucking company or warehouse, reinforce the construction of an utmost weird ambience.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt; At night, beyond the road’s border, a feeling between abandonment and an ulterior life persists. Other arrangements of work, pleasure and leisure emerge. This road, the Nacional Um, is an awkward place to be. And travel.&lt;/p&gt;

            <title>PEDRO AMARAL | Cesariny em Polaroids | Sinto muito</title> 
            <link>http://www.theportfolioproject.org/pedroamaral/cesariny/sintomuito</link> 
            <description>
              &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/pedroamaral/cesariny/sintomuito"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/img/s6/v6/p110468887-3.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A poesia reflecte-me, sinto.&lt;br/&gt; Quando nesta al&#233;m disso me revejo; a&#237; sim, &lt;strong&gt;sinto muito&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt; A poesia busca a simplicidade na harmonia dos momentos que acontecem de coisas opostas. A beleza do confronto de pensamentos dispersos que confluem para um aconchego revelador. Uma realidade que se confunde entre o vivido e o sentido.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt; No que Cesariny nos diz, ou&#231;o-o a dar som ao conjunto de palavras que me fez sentir o que em imagens mostro aqui; o que vejo no espelho desta poesia em que para al&#233;m de me rever consegui tamb&#233;m reencontrar-me.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt; Uma polaroid por cada poema, que vi aparecer segundo a segundo como num acto final de reconcilia&#231;&#227;o dos sentidos. Ouvi, li, reli, pensei, vi e senti; sinto muito o que mostro aqui.&lt;/p&gt;

            <description>
              &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/andreianevesnunes/ines"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/img/s8/v9/p256662562-3.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Para retratar D. In&#234;s de Castro penso que a forma mais representativa ser&#225; a sua coroa&#231;&#227;o p&#243;stuma.&lt;br/&gt;Esse epis&#243;dio, representativo do imagin&#225;rio rom&#226;ntico, especialmente pela narrativa do amor-paix&#227;o que est&#225; destinado a um fim funesto. De tal forma que a introdu&#231;&#227;o do romantismo em Portugal fez com que o mito Inesiano cativasse diversos autores, em campos t&#227;o diversos como a arte e a ci&#234;ncia. At&#233; aos dias de hoje, D. In&#234;s serve de inspira&#231;&#227;o para obras em v&#225;rios pa&#237;ses. &lt;br/&gt;Uma das adapta&#231;&#245;es mais famosas ser&#225; certamente o epis&#243;dio de “Pedro e In&#234;s” nos “Lus&#237;adas”. A forma como o “Amor” &#233; apresentado como o grande vil&#227;o, sendo-lhe atribu&#237;das caracter&#237;sticas humanas, penso que enfatiza o dramatismo melanc&#243;lico do epis&#243;dio tornando-o memor&#225;vel. &lt;br/&gt;Como tal, sempre vi In&#234;s como uma “Ophelia Lusitana”, a perfeita representa&#231;&#227;o do ideal Pr&#233;-Rafaelita. Este grupo art&#237;stico fundado em Inglaterra em 1848 principalmente dedicado &#224; pintura, era organizado como uma confraria medieval e surge como reac&#231;&#227;o &#224; arte acad&#233;mica inglesa que seguia os moldes dos artistas cl&#225;ssicos do Renascimento. Inseridos num esp&#237;rito revivalista rom&#226;ntico, desejam devolver &#224; arte a sua pureza e honestidade que consideravam existir na arte medieval.&lt;br/&gt;A beleza et&#233;rea tr&#225;gica, dessagrada pela crueldade dos Homens e a recusa de In&#234;s de ir contra o seu esp&#237;rito, mostra como a sua hist&#243;ria &#233; exemplo da tem&#225;tica Pr&#233;-Rafaelita. O mito de In&#234;s &#233; simbolismo da imagem intoc&#225;vel e sonhada deste estilo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A porta de artistas, o camarim, o corredor, o palco. &#201; ali, a recta final para o abismo. Tudo entra em ebuli&#231;&#227;o, as veias a inchar, os pulm&#245;es testam limites,os olhos raiados de energia, o salto da realidade para o abismo est&#225; prestes a acontecer. Um momento &#250;nico a testemunhar, os minutos antes de um bailarino entrar em cena. &lt;br/&gt;S&#227;o momentos de profunda concentra&#231;&#227;o e entrega onde &#233; imperativa a perfei&#231;&#227;o. Um estado quase hipn&#243;tico de concentra&#231;&#227;o e introspec&#231;&#227;o que tive oportunidade de registar. &lt;br/&gt;Apresento-vos agora alguns momentos excepcionais que tive a oportunidade de partilhar com o elenco da companhia &quot;Katakl&#242;&quot; (It&#225;lia) em Junho de 2008, em Lisboa.&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/danielagarcia/redlilys"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/img/s9/v0/p30432336-3.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;O projecto &lt;em&gt;where the red lilys grow&lt;/em&gt; , teve como inspira&#231;&#227;o para o t&#237;tulo o nome da m&#250;sica composta por Nick Cave &lt;em&gt;Where the wild roses grow, &lt;/em&gt;para o &#225;lbum &lt;em&gt;The murder Ballads. &lt;/em&gt;Apesar desta can&#231;&#227;o remeter para uma tem&#225;tica mais taciturna, o projecto nada tem a esse n&#237;vel de influ&#234;ncia. Com um car&#225;cter experimentalista, leve e quase l&#250;dico, este projecto tem como objectivo abordar a paisagem de forma pict&#243;rica.&lt;br/&gt;Atrav&#233;s da inser&#231;&#227;o de formas geom&#233;tricas coloridas, inspiradas nas formas org&#226;nicas das flores, os l&#237;rios em particular, pretende-se criar uma paisagem inusitada de cores saturadas e fortes contrastes crom&#225;ticos.&lt;br/&gt;Estas imagens pelas suas caracter&#237;sticas chegam a levantar a d&#250;vida se s&#227;o fotografias de facto ou foto montagens em que a uma fotografia de paisagem foram acrescentados digitalmente elementos externos.&lt;br/&gt;Tendo como conceito de trabalho as regras de composi&#231;&#227;o e disposi&#231;&#227;o dos objectos num espa&#231;o tridimensional, transposto atrav&#233;s da fotografia para um espa&#231;o bidimensional, este projecto pretende jogar com esse enunciado do inesperado.&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/ruivelindro/southpaw"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/img/s5/v4/p387207561-3.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Southpaw significa canhoto, ou esquerdino, e &amp;#233; atrav&amp;#233;s desta palavra que nasce este portfolio. O principal objectivo consiste em mostrar uma s&amp;#233;rie de vinte e cinco gestos di&amp;#225;rios realizados de modo inverso, ou seja, com a m&amp;#227;o esquerda. Gestos simples e sempre presentes, como pentear o cabelo, abrir uma porta ou usar o comando para mudar de cana, encontram-se auto-representados neste portfolio que mostra o porqu&amp;#234; dos esquerdinos serem apelidados de desajeitados. A realidade encontra-se sempre presente num conjunto de imagens simples e reais.&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/brendaturnnidge/mould_art"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/img/s7/v8/p608597765-3.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since the early 1990’s photographer Brenda Turnnidge has gained something of a reputation for her highly original hand-tinted photographs. Using traditional techniques she hijacked her images, adding an orange sky here, a blue field there, infusing new life into her black and white works. with vibrant, often psychedelic colour. The result was quirky and contemporary. Meanwhile, deep in her Asia archives, chemicals beyond her control joined forces with nature and started “ auto-tinting”. In 2006, Brenda decided to take a fresh look at her archives and discovered to her surprise that some slides were far from fresh. Over the years they had accumulated layers of green and purple mould. Tinting without trying. The result was often an improvement on the original stock shot. Part of photography’s magical moments. Mould art had invented itself. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;1985-2009 &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;To be continued …&lt;/p&gt;

            <description>
              &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/josemorais/jardim"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/img/s10/v2/p798221946-3.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Arte e realidade &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Gosto de recordar as aulas de Geometria Descritiva, disciplina que logo me encantou pelo nome. Achava um exerc&#237;cio espl&#234;ndido, descrever a realidade atrav&#233;s da sua projec&#231;&#227;o em dois planos perpendiculares que se interceptavam numa recta designada por “ linha de terra” - at&#233; os nomes fascinavam. Hoje, penso a fotografia como um processo id&#234;ntico, no qual se l&#234; a realidade numa imagem, n&#227;o s&#243; a forma f&#237;sica dos corpos, a que se l&#234; na geometria descritiva, mas tamb&#233;m aquela dimens&#227;o que damos &#224;s coisas em fun&#231;&#227;o das nossas ideias e emo&#231;&#245;es. &#201; essa vis&#227;o que se fotografa e que mostra a nossa interpreta&#231;&#227;o e capacidade de compreens&#227;o do mundo. Vejo, muitas vezes, o lado ef&#233;mero das coisas, percebendo nos simples gestos do quotidiano algo de essencial. Num olhar, num sorriso, na maneira de andar, num momento de sil&#234;ncio, se descobre a poesia da vida.&lt;/p&gt;

            <title>JO&#195;O CL&#193;UDIO FERNANDES | Of&#237;cios antigos na Lisboa do s&#233;culo XXI</title> 
            <link>http://www.theportfolioproject.org/joaoclaudiofernandes/oficiosantigos</link> 
            <description>
              &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/joaoclaudiofernandes/oficiosantigos"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/img/s7/v7/p479609084-3.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lisboa. Cidade marcada por in&#250;meras culturas e povos. Nela nasceram homens simples e de cultura, ci&#234;ncia, pol&#237;tica e at&#233; santos. Em cada tempo deixaram uma marca. E a baixa lisboeta &#233; um destes locais que espelha esta actividade humana. Nela labutaram e viveram correeiros, sapateiros, douradores e fanqueiros. Hoje esta zona vive dois ritmos. O dia que enche a baixa de turistas, de pessoas que trabalham no pequeno com&#233;rcio ou escrit&#243;rios e dos que a atravessam para ir para a outra margem. E a noite que traz a solid&#227;o, adormecendo a cidade e esvaziando os espa&#231;os.&lt;br/&gt; A evolu&#231;&#227;o tecnol&#243;gica abriu portas para o nascimento de novos of&#237;cios e novos conhecimentos e relegou para segundo plano profiss&#245;es que faziam parte natural da nossa exist&#234;ncia. Agora, estas mesmas profiss&#245;es, quase apagadas das nossas mem&#243;rias, s&#227;o apenas recordadas de tempos a tempos. &lt;br/&gt;“Antigos of&#237;cios na Lisboa do s&#233;culo XXI” nasceu da vontade de confrontar a p&#243;s-modernidade da era global com a vida quotidiana de alguns antigos of&#237;cios escondidos aos olhos de muitas pessoas. Numa altura em que tudo passa pela Internet e pelas tecnologias m&#243;veis, em que tudo est&#225; ao alcance de um click, esses antigos of&#237;cios do mundo real parecem incontact&#225;veis, esquecidos. &#201; que a vida, a cultura e as din&#226;micas subjacentes a estes of&#237;cios n&#227;o se encontram facilmente no cibermundo inform&#225;tico. &lt;br/&gt;Assim, numa perspectiva documental e fotojornal&#237;stica procurei captar em imagem e captar na lembran&#231;a 5 of&#237;cios que ainda fazem parte do dia-&#224;-dia desta cidade: &lt;em&gt;a Conserveira, a Alfarrabista, o Sapateiro, a Retroseira, o Amolador&lt;/em&gt;. Em cada uma destas situa&#231;&#245;es s&#227;o apresentadas 4 fotos com pontos comuns e a especificidade de cada of&#237;cio. &lt;br/&gt;A reportagem abre-nos portas para uma viagem no tempo e no espa&#231;o, na Lisboa do s&#233;culo XXI, onde ainda &#233; poss&#237;vel viver e conviver com o passado, a cultura e a hist&#243;ria desta cidade.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Debaixo de &#225;gua. &lt;br/&gt;Sempre que pensava em fotografia subaqu&#225;tica, sistematicamente vinham-me &#224; mem&#243;ria imagens-document&#225;rio. Nunca pensei em outras possibilidades… Este conjunto de imagens &#233; uma primeira experi&#234;ncia que encerra um dramatismo inesperado… Talvez na sua ess&#234;ncia transmita a rever&#234;ncia que o mar nos merece… &lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;Miguel Costa&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Este projecto de retrato come&#231;ou na verdade com uma visita &#224; feira da ladra. Um vestido de noiva que algu&#233;m vendia a pre&#231;o muito acess&#237;vel. Quem guarda um vestido de noiva, reserva na mem&#243;ria um espa&#231;o para um momento que ter&#225; sido importante, de mudan&#231;a. Quem o vende assim t&#227;o barato sugere um desejo de se livrar desse lugar reservado na mem&#243;ria para possivelmente para o ocupar com renovadas lembran&#231;as.&lt;br/&gt;Esta noiva foi a que fugiu, sem tirar o vestido, em busca de um lugar novo onde pudesse morar e construir novas mem&#243;rias.&lt;br/&gt;Esta narrativa fotogr&#225;fica, se tudo correr bem, ter&#225; continua&#231;&#227;o ap&#243;s Janeiro.&lt;br/&gt;Partilho este projecto com a performer, antrop&#243;loga e programadora cultural, Liz Vahia que personifica The Fiancee.&lt;/p&gt;
