About Artist

Andrés Gonzalez

I am a Spanish-Brazilian photographer now based in Porto, but my passion for photography began in 1975 in Rio de Janeiro, inspired by a childhood spent watching my father develop photographs in our Brazilian home. Armed with a 35mm Zeiss camera gifted by my father, I started capturing the world in Rio de Janeiro, blending documentary and artistic approaches. My work explores themes of movement, time, and urban transformation, weaving rich tapestries of documentary, street, portrait, and landscape photography, predominantly in vibrant color but often delving into the depths of monochrome. My imagery captures the shifting rhythms of contemporary city life, reflecting my commitment to visual storytelling rooted in place and pace. Having lived across borders, I now call Porto home, where my latest series, City on the MOVE, offers a striking study of the city’s evolving streets. My work has been exhibited internationally and featured across respected photography platforms, continuing to connect with audiences through its focus on the urban experience.
