Rui de Vasconcelos Serra Ribeiro, born in Lisbon

Award-winning fine art photographer

CEO and founder at SR photography

Father, husband and pet lover. I adopted a Portuguese Water Dog named Cachupín. Dreamy and communicative, I love Travel, Cinema and Arts in general.

I had my professional training in photography at Ar.Co - Centro de Arte & Visual Communication in Lisbon. It is in photography that I find my means of artistic expression.

In 2010, I moved to Faro at Algarve and start giving photography training to beginner and professional courses.

I carried out the photographic project “Saudade Guitarra Portuguesa”, prefaced by the master António Chaínho, on the RTP1 show, Praça da Alegria and had his presence in the inaugural exhibition at the Lethes theatre in Faro, with a memorable recital.

Currently I'm a photography teacher at the Gil Eanes Professional School in Portimão, while I continue my professional activity between wedding photography, events, photo sessions and dreams.

I believe that photographic experience, accumulated over the years, is only useful in conjunction with a permanent update of techniques and aesthetic trends.

I had never worked with Rui before and that's why I was a little apprehensive. It took 1 second in a meeting before the event to make sure I had found the right person! In addition to being an excellent photographer, he is a fantastic person! I STRONGLY advise anyone who is looking for someone to bring to life the memories of a certain moment. Rui - thank you!””
