Sorry, went too fast. Your short set of images made me think of a Brazilian photographer, Gustavo Minas, which has this approach too. He’s quite known and very good also. He makes me think sometimes of Alex Webb but the colours of Webb are different. A bit more highlighted. Your photo of the woman in the market, could be one of his: strong contrasts. Definitely, not sweet stories but real ones.

Thank you very much, Luz, for this comparison. Very flattering for me. Gustavo Minas did a workshop in Lisbon some time ago and a few friends took part, they all really enjoyed it. I think he will be at the Lisbon Street Photo Festival 27-28 Sept, too (and by the way, Alex and Rebecca Webb will definitely be there too). The Festival's website is https://www.lisbonstreet.photo/

Ah, thank you so much for this info, Pierre! I’ll check the website. I don’t know if I will be in sept in Lisbon but if I will, I’ll take a look at it, for sure. How’s things in Lisbon? A lot to photograph? 😊

If there is city with a lot of tpbotocrpah is Lisbon. Don’t you think so?😉
