Photographer: Isac Junior

I am a storyteller. I use more than just a camera in the act of capturing pictures. I bring: all the books I've read, the movies I've watched, the music I've listened to and the people I love.
My photographs represent hope for my people, so they are very colourful, as they serve as the colour that paints their hearts and feeds their dreams. I grew up in a humble family in Matola, more specifically in the Trevo neighbourhood, Mozambique. Nothing that I am nowadays is common in my neighbourhood. The difficulties of life consume my people's time and doesn't allow them to dream. Every day the battle in Trevo is always the same, to supply basic needs. I thank God and my parents for creating the conditions for me to dream, and that's why one of my biggest dreams is to help my country, starting with my neighbourhood.
Photography came into my life in 2015 and with time I discovered several skills inside and outside the photography realm, that equip me well as an artist. I have a good attention to detail and enjoying playing with my aesthetics and employing minimalism in my creations. My willingness to explore new ways of capturing images and honing my craft has allowed me to continue my evolution as a professional photographer.
With time I fell in love with photography and today it represents everything for me, if shooting without being paid was the condition to remain a photographer I would continue anyway, Photography is the tool and expression that I use to free myself.
