Diego Veríssimo

My name is Diego Veríssimo and I'm a freelance photographer based in Portugal. I specialize mainly in Portraiture and Documentary Photography and in my images I always try to create a bridge between the subject in the photograph and the viewer. I also work as a photography assistant.

Ansel Adams once said that: "A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety". And I couldn't agree more; all of my photographs have a little bit of me in them.

Nowadays everyone owns a digital camera and millions of pictures are taken every single day. If you want to create something different and outstanding you have to be passionate about it.

I believe in thinking outside the box and pushing yourself beyond your limits. I believe in hard work in order to achieve your goals. I believe in passion. And I'm passionate about photography.
