Victor Fernandes' story begins in Angola Africa, his place of birth. There he lived until war broke out in 1973.He fled with his family by foot and train to the Ivory Coast. Being Portuguese nationals they fled by sea to Portugal where they settled in Lisbon. In 1977 Victor and his family migrated to the United States. Victor's childhood was far from a picnic. But it gave root to a strong "Will". What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger". These aren't just words, it is Victor's life experience.

Victor's passion for photography comes from his father. He grew up looking at his dad's photo albums taken with a Canonette 1965. In the late 50s early 1960's his father fought in the jungles around Angola Africa. This was a war where the enemy was in front of you, hand to hand combat/guerrilla warfare. With his camera by his side, his father took amazing photos. Victor was amazed that he found time to take photos in such a dangerous environment. So Victor's passion grew from there.

Now to the meat of the matter. Victor's first love and passions have been history, nature, and travel. Photography brings all that together. A visual storyteller, His-story he calls it, pun intended. Victor loves traveling the world and capturing what catches his eye. His camera is his paint brush.
