Rui Cardoso is a photographer with an architectural background. After completing his architecture degree in the University of Porto, he started working closely with Manuel Aires Mateus in his atelier in Lisbon where he developed a keen interest in architectural photography. After 4 years of working together he decided to dedicate himself entirely to photography. Through his imagery he always tries to introduce a poetic and sensible approach focusing on light, shadow, texture and materiality. Rui Cardoso loves analog photography and he exclusively works with film.
