Ocupações

 

This is me at my most biased pseudo review. Well, scratch review and add portrait of someone who exhales at portraying.
Filipe Branquinho is one of my favorite photographers. Not even because he hails from the same city as me, and we were born in the same year and pretty much grazed in the same pastures, but because his pictures are truly worth a thousand words. His attention to detail and work ethos instinctively filter into his work, making his images easy to absorb and relate to. Oh, speaking of images, Filipe is also an accomplished Illustrator
Ocupações (Occupations) is something he's been working on for quite sometime. I guess it's a visual depiction of Maputo, done through it's inhabitants and the various things they have to do to afford living in such an african hub. Below are some of my favorite portraits this collection has to offer.
