Photography, Mags Pool
Statement:
"Porto, The New City of Love" is a street photography series I shot on my Canon AE-1 35mm film camera while traveling in Porto, Portugal in 2023. I was struck by the amount of open, bright affection between real and imagined lovers in this city. It fills the community with a sense of warmth, vulnerability, and acceptance, despite the wildly stormy October climate.
