PHOTOGRAPHIC LEADERS
Paulo Pereira
His first real machine was an analogue Minolta, acquired in 1992, which he still keeps religiously. With the transition to digital, his passion grew, he systematically evolved and combined photography with his other passion, travel. With 39 countries under his belt, he combines his travel experience with photography, mastering not only the technical aspects of photography, but also the logistical aspects of travel. During his travels, he absorbed a lot of knowledge from other international photographers with whom he shared great photographic moments, namely in Iceland and Scotland, countries that he chooses as dream destinations for any landscape photographer.
Miguel Mesquita
His passion for photography began in the late 90s, with a Pentax film camera, and he had his first digital camera in 2001, a Sony. More recently, he has rediscovered his passion for landscape photography. Through his photographic travels, he had the opportunity to photograph several European countries in different scenarios and seasons, improving his technique, even in the most demanding environments. In 2020, he joins the team of photographic leaders at Photo Details Workshops.
