Luis Carmo

A Portuguese visual artist from the Algarve, Luis Carmo instinctively fell in love with photography. From his childhood spent contemplating the maritime landscapes of Tavira - his hometown - to dissecting the movements of nature and the body language of passers-by, he finally found in the medium the art of freezing the world with authenticity. With a great openness of mind, and a deep interest in the living, he thus captures what he sees or feels in order to become more aware of what surrounds him, as well as what goes beyond him. After studying at the London College of Fashion (UAL), from where he was introduced to fashion photography, he expanded his field of creativity and possibilities by developing his spirituality through reiki training - an energy healing technique.
