In this serene composition, the photograph captures a moment of introspection and connection, where vulnerability meets the strength of the landscape. An individual standing on a massive rock contemplates the vast and open horizon, symbolizing the fusion between the human and nature.

Paulo Sales Vieira had his first contact with the world of photography at the age of 12 through a Polaroid camera. It was with this camera that he captured his first images: family moments, details of everyday life, and still lifes, exploring themes he found interesting and enigmatic. In 2007, he enrolled in the first year of a photography course at IADE but ultimately graduated in design. Never putting the camera aside, he worked on several projects for friends who believed in his vision, which strengthened his confidence to pursue a career in art and photography. In 2023, he began a photography course at ETIC, motivated by a desire to deepen his knowledge in the field he loves and to build a professional future in photography.
