Trained as an architect and with a long career as an artist, Julião Sarmento has been taking photographs for more than forty years. From early on his technical and lyrical control of the medium allowed him to develop a personal style, and his pictures cover a wide variety of interests: people, places, gatherings, travels, animals in and out of zoos, cars, experiments on light. The volume feels like a road book through his archive, where raw, spontaneous images stand side by side with more carefully constructed series in an elegant edit, mixing medium format and 35mm, colour and black and white.
