Please introduce yourself shortly.
I’m José and I am 27 years old. I live in a small town called Amarante close to Porto (amazing city!). I’m a graphic designer and illustrator, in love with creative photography, sometimes I am a teacher too.
When did you start to take photos?
I started when I was in Highschool and got my first phone with a nice camera as a birthday gift. I started to take pictures and after some time I got my first camera, so my passion about photography grew more and more.
When and how did you start with Instagram?
I started my Instagram in 2013 although at the beginning I just used my accont to see the others Instagrammers. But after a while I started to post my own pictures and it was like my passion was reawakened. From the beginning until now my feed changed a lot, I needed some time to define my own style.
When I started, I never imagined that Instagram was going to be so important in my daily life!
I was taking it more and more seriously, it made me think carefully about all the posts and became a demanding work for me.
What is your favorite thing about Instagram?
I love a lot of things about Instagram.
Firstly the opportunity to show my work to a lot of people and to get their feedback in the comments. Instagram is also a great place to find inspiration every day, because you can see a lot of different pictures in different styles, from all over the world.
The other thing I really love is the opportunity to meet new people, not only from my country but from a lot of other countries, I was able to make new friends and discover new cultures. For example at Insta Meet-ups, it is so interesting to get to know the people you follow on Instagram. Sometimes it’s really funny because it is such a surprise!
