Photographer: Isac Pinto
Biography
Isac Proença Pinto was born in Lourenço Marques, Mozambique, in 1973. Graduated in Mathematics from the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Coimbra (1996) is a professor and photographer.
The connection to the images comes from afar: the great-grandfather, Joaquim da Costa, inaugurated the first cinema in Condeixa-a-Nova, in 1932; his grandfather, José Pinto, opened the first photography house also in Condeixa-a-Nova; his father, António Pinto, a photographer with more than four decades of career, began as a photo reporter in Lourenço Marques and was a trainer in several schools.
For Isac Pinto, photographing has been a constant, but somehow a clandestine heritage. However, the passion for this art...moves.
