The Algarve photographer Bruno Gonçalves, «in love, since he was little, with observing the skies», will present some of his best works in the exhibition entitled “ATMÓS – The most intense (but beautiful) side of the Atmosphere!”, to be inaugurated on the day December 4th, at 16 pm, at Galeria N00, in Alpiarça (Santarém).
The photographic exhibition will try to show «some images of storms that I have captured over the last few years, mainly in the USA», and «there will be a more recent photograph of the trip to La Palma», revealed Bruno Gonçalves, the young Algarve tornado hunter, in an interview with Sul Informação.
Through the images presented in this exhibition, the photographer will try to show, «not only the beautiful side of these photographs, due to the powerful, large and magnificent aspect that the storms demonstrate», but also «the intense side of these, which can, at the same time, cause destruction for those who live in those places».
"This exhibition will try to show how the two things are always combined and how they are inherent to each other", he stressed.
These photos «are my vision of when I was witnessing those stormy moments, which I try to portray while I photograph».
Some of the images have been highlighted nationally and internationally, for example, in the illustration for the month of February of the 2020 calendar of “Severe Weather Europe” and in the magazine “National Geographic Portugal”, in the editions of the months of September and December 2019.
Bruno Gonçalves also revealed to Sul Informação that «not many Portuguese photographers will, happily or unfortunately, have the opportunities I have to photograph and witness these storms, especially in the United States of America», which may be one of the factors for these images to gain even greater prominence.
The exhibition will be open until the 30th of December and can be visited every day, from 10:30 am to 13:00 pm and from 15:00 pm to 18:30 pm, with the space closed on Mondays.
In order to bring together the photographic and video records that he is making, Bruno Gonçalves created, in 2013, a online portfolio.
The photographer has already been awarded one of his videos, “ATMÓS”, made with the technique of timelapse, No. Oniros Film Awards, in the short films category, and was part of the official selection in the Finisterre Arrábida Film Art & Tourism Festival, Barcelona Planet Film Festival and Wild Film Festival Lookout.
