about.
Hi, I’m Jorge, an artist working across photography, videography and visual arts practices. Originally from Portugal, I have worked across Europe, US, Asia and Australia.
As a self-taught artist, curiosity has always led my learning process and over the past ten years I have accumulated technical knowledge and experience as a photographer across commercial and creative settings. I have worked with a multitude of people, from dancers to singers, activists, athletes, arts festivals and brands.
I am driven to capture things that shift perceptions about the mundane, the everyday, the unassuming. With that also derives a pull to intervene and attempt to affect the fabric of the society we live in, through the lens of socially minded projects.
Since moving to the Gold Coast, my work has shifted focus to include my unique perspective of the social issues that surround me. As a migrant, the differences in inclusion, culture and interactions become more apparent - as I can now be part of a community while being exempt from the restraints of subjective attachments.
I have presented work as part of HOTA’s Rage Against the Virus with photography project Orange, and Placemakers' Behind the Golden Doors with film work Sanctity of Space.
