I m Andre Boto, born in 1985, a freelance Photographer from Portugal working in following areas: Conceptual/Creative, Commercial, Architecture, Interiors, Industrial, Decoration Projects, Portrait and Post-Production in Photoshop.
I was always interested in the arts and design, devoting much time to the drawing. For me, it's really challenging to create/re-create our own worlds based on optical illusion, I'm fascinated with Surrealism and by author like M.C.Escher and Rene Magritte.
In 2007 I finished the degree in Decorative Arts, in "Escola Superior de Educacao de Beja". In 2008 I completed the Advanced Photography (2008) and Conceptual Photography (2009) courses, both in Oficina da Imagem.
