In this book called “The Light of Santiago”, we searched for the light of dusk, this unique moment in which the remnants of daylight give way to this magical and ephemeral passage that we, portuguese, call “lusco-fusco”. In other moments it was the one that came directly from the stars, or the flickering light of the public lighting that gives to Entradas this unique atmosphere.
In the case of Napoleão, when he looked at my pictures, he was sent to a corner of his memory that kept him alive. He went from there, wrote what was in his soul, so suddenly, so that the truth of the photograph would match the pulse of what his heart dictated.
In these portraits of Entradas that we now share with you, the movement captured is created by the exposure of light that dances around our emotional heritage, preserving in time this unique and intense Light of Santiago.
