In episode 26 we chat with award-winning photographer Antonio Bernardino Coelho from Portugal. Antonio has gathered numerous accolades from international photography competitions, including the prestigious Sony Awards and the Society of Photographers. In this interview he shares how he takes inspiration from everything - big or small.
Antonio juggles family life, working as an engineer and his various hobbies and interests including his passion for photography yet still manages to produce high quality images that wow judges. He is both artist and scientist, observer and storyteller with a variety of influences that have fuelled his ever-evolving style. Most known for still life and architectural images, it all began with a trip to Cuba and a fascination with its culture.
His attitude is to give things a go - just try! So we find a diverse portfolio that showcases many genres, all done to a high level. His art draws on his personality and his values, delivering clear, uncluttered messages to the viewer. From fungi in the local countryside to architecture in the city and home to his tabletop creations, Antonio brings his take on the world around him.
We invite you to listen to hear the stories behind popular series such as "State of Mind", how a bucket of staples led to a conceptual cityscape and his big dreams of travelling if he gets the chance. Join us for this exclusive rare interview.
