António Bracons is a civil engineer and photographer. He is the author and creator of the blog Fascínio da Fotografia (https://fasciniodafotografia.com/), and the author of several books, notably “Ingenium” (2022) and “Sobre o Silêncio” (2020, 2nd ed. 2026). He publishes his work and takes part in group exhibitions, as well as engaging in other activities in the field of photography.
António Lopes holds a degree and a PhD in Contemporary History and is currently conducting advanced research in this field. A highly regarded Portuguese professional photographer, lecturer and researcher, he is widely recognised for his central role in the APAF (Portuguese Association of Photographic Art), where he serves as president and head of education.
Marta Brites is a philosophy lecturer with a PhD in bioethics. In other words, she is a seeker of self and beauty via shortcuts known only to restlessness. More realistic than lyrical, with a lucidity that is at times tragic, at times (e)ternal.
Paulo Paz began his career in the fields of Management Information Systems and Computer Engineering before turning his attention to the arts. He has worked in the fields of image and video processing and was head of the Photography Department at the Oficina do Desenho in Cascais, where he also served as vice-president.
