Ana Luísa Pinto

Ana Luísa Pinto é fotógrafa, artista visual e sempre precisou de pôr o que pensava e sentia em forma de coisas. Formada em Conservação e Restauro de Arte — com Caravaggio e Frida Kahlo como crushes confessas — acabou por descobrir que não queria estar do lado de quem cuida da arte, mas do lado de quem a faz. Mais importante ainda, percebeu que a sua forma favorita de interpretar o mundo era a fotografá-lo.

Desde 2008 que usa o próprio corpo como matéria de criação artística e que se dedica a auto-retratos oníricos e conceptuais; criou, em 2010, a Luminous Photography (que entretanto evoluiu para The Luminous @luminous ) a sua marca de de fotografia de casamento e de retrato, com raízes no Porto e clientes em todo o mundo. O seu trabalho é cinematográfico, íntimo e deliberadamente atemporal, e une a arte ao documento da vida comum.

A Ana vai partilhar algumas das práticas, dicas e técnicas preciosas que te irão ajudar a tirar o melhor partido do registo fotográfico do teu trabalho como Maquilhador.

We are a certified training provider for professional courses recognised by the Portuguese State, through the issuance of certificates by the SIGO platform, with access to the Qualifica Passport.
