Hi!
I’m Frank, a professional photographer based in Lisbon with a passion for helping people capture better, more meaningful photos - using nothing more than their phone.
After years behind the camera working with models, travelers, and creative projects across Europe, Brazil and Australia, I realized that great photography isn’t about expensive gear - it’s about learning to see differently. That’s why I created these workshops: to teach simple techniques anyone can use to turn everyday moments into beautiful, well-composed shots.
Whether you’re a traveler who wants to take stunning vacation photos, a small business owner trying to improve your product shots, or just someone who wants their pictures to finally match the memories - I’ll guide you step-by-step through lighting, composition, framing, and storytelling so your photos feel truly professional.
Come join me, learn in a relaxed and creative atmosphere, and discover how much your phone can really do.
