Portraits of relationships from the streets of Portugal
Andrew Gray (June 9th, 2008)
Photography is a very important part of my space… it is to discover, it is to capture giving flow to what the heart feels and sees in a certain moment, it is being in the street, trying, knowing, learning and, essentially, practicing the freedom of being, of living, of thinking….Any street photographer should love and respect the people of the street, the main actors of street photography.

Intimate, carring, revealing, unmasked. Rui captures his subjects true selves with sensitivity and understanding.
Wonderfull work, Benjamin.

I have known Rui in flickr, and between the many photographers found in the web site he is what I admire more. Beyond to having an excellent technique and making a B&W Exceptional, succeeds in giving a spirit to all its photos. the persons who immortalize are present with their mood more than with their faces.
ho conosciuto Rui in flickr, e tra i molti fotografi trovati nel sito è quello che ammiro di più.
oltre ad avere una tecnica eccellente e fare un B&W eccezionale riesce a dare un’anima a tutte le sue foto. le persone che immortala sono presenti con il loro spirito, più che con le loro facce.

Es un placer encontrarme aquí a un grande como Rui. Sigo su trabajo, uno de los más interesantes en Flickr, desde hace ya bastante tiempo. Esta pequeña muestra da una idea del gran fotógrafo del que estamos hablando.
Enhorabuena.
Un abrazo amigo.

Outstandig serie here. A celebration of humanity. The use of the wide angle and the black and white is just spectacular. Each photo tells a story. Edition is also perfect. I will follow the work of Rui from now on.

Oh wow, so expressive… they really do draw you in.
I agree, just looking at these photos makes me feel like I know these people, and at the same time it makes me want to know more – their stories, their history, their future.
Brilliant.
