Jose Carlos Costa
Portugal Nominee Fine Art Amateur "The Ghosts" Long Exposure during a winter day at the Vila do Conde (Portugal) Lighthouse. Jose Carlos Costa was born in 12.08.1978 in Braga (Portugal). Being the youngest of a family of 11 brothers, superfluous expenses were obviously left behind and, therefore his first priority was to invest in academic training. Despite the long passion for photography, his first camera (a compact) was only acquired at age 20 with the scholarship savings. Despite its obvious limitations this served to irreversibly increase his addiction for photography. In 2009, after finishing his PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering, he acquired his first Canon DSLR that allowed him to broaden horizons. Currently is able to dedicate himself to his two passions: the science, his main professional activity, and the photography, which occupies almost all his free time searching for developing his technical and but above all his creative aspects. In constant quest for his own style, nature photography, mostly involving his favourite element, water, and long exposure techniques are the base of his work. |
