Diogo Oliveira Photography

Hello! I am Diogo, I was born and I live in Lisbon. From very early on I discovered my passion for photography when I "ruined" the kodak films on my mother's camera. I graduated in science from the “Instituto Superior de Agronomia” and the University of Évora.

My childhood was spent traveling through Portugal, where I traveled through wild animal trails to the most remote and beautiful places, some of these completely unknown to the public at the time (before the internet). But the passion for photography spoke louder. Throughout my science degree every time I had free time, I would go photograph wildlife and nature. I spent endless hours inside shelters to get the perfect picture, I suffered with cold, snow, rain, ice, heat, sun, I suffered with all the adversities that we encounter when we are in the middle of nowhere. I walked through forests, valleys, rivers, unobtainable places, camped under the stars, watched and recorded unique moments. Due to my passion for documentaries I end up filming during some moments, but still very amateur. Some photographs have been published in magazines, brochures, books, websites, and have been awarded in various contests.

I recently released my first book, the "Wildlife Guide of Tapada da Ajuda". This guide was written, translated, designed and illustrated by me, from the first day until the launch it was a project that I loved being a part of even with all the problems encountered along the way.
