Guest: Carolina Lopes

Carolina seems to be fascinated by different genres of photography, not really noticing the boundaries between them. She crosses them naturally not carrying about tools and means and world shown in her pictures is still filtered in very personal way.

Portuguese photographers are often trapped by surrounding them reality of old towns, olive trees and donkeys – cannons of traditional BW Portuguese photography.

I am personally impressed by the fact she didn’t allow herself to become a hostage and she dares to show her real world, not Lisbon Story like frames.


Carolina Lopes, very young photographer from Portugal show her works for the first time in public, and she makes it here on F blog – thank you Carolina.

More works of Carolina you can find on her blog

Great of you to choose the F blog as your first choice. We're all very pleased - and honoured!

I'm particularly fond of the photo with the shoes. I can't put my finger on it, but somehow it pleases me - immediately.

Keep up the good work!

I like this, and I think you are on the right track. Don't bother about photographic genre, bother about what you see and what you will show... the rest is academic.
