My name is João Pedro Camelo. I was born in Portugal, in October 1978, and currently I live in Saudi Arabia. I am a Chemical Engineer by training, having started my professional activity in 2002. Since then, and simultaneously, I have been traveling around the World. I clearly describe myself as a traveller. I like cultural discovery, genuine contact with people and the most interesting places on the planet. For me, any place will have a story to tell.
The interest in photography resulted from these trips. Without theoretical knowledge, I was looking for the record of unique and unforgettable moments. In the portfolio I have images from America to Asia, passing through Europe and Africa.
I decided to take photography more seriously when I started studying at the Instituto Português da Fotografia, one of the most renowned photography schools in Portugal. Currently, I am interested in documentary and author photography.
