My name is Vasco Nunes Filipe, I am a Documentary Photographer born in 2000, in Lisbon, Portugal.

It all began in 2019 with my dad lending me his old Canon AT-1 for me to shoot in that summer. It was behind this camera that my eye revealed something awake.

Meanwhile, I was struggling for some years to end my high school degree and deciding what to do after. While skating and surfing to relax this pressure, I gave up on high school for a year and decided to go study at the IPF (the Portuguese Institute of Photography) in Lisbon. It was there where I started to find my north.

After learning the crucial basics of photography there, I realised I needed to run away from Portugal, although i have a big passion for it. There was no way this country could provide me conditions or opportunities in order for me to feed myself and live in peace doing what i really wanted to do: Documentary Photography. So by the middle of 2021 and with the help and influence of a partner and it’s Family, I left to France and Switzerland, in where I worked to fund my future photography studies in Paris, photographed the beautiful Landscapes of the Alps and ended online my high school degree that had been previously putted on hold.

Once I entered the school I was willing to in Paris (Speos International School of Photography), it was a a turn in my life. Here I educated, informed, maturated and deepened, during 2 years, into what I was willing to do for the rest of my life.

Im currently based in Paris, willing to move soon to the southwest of France, where I plan to settle myself and have my base there. I am working in long term documentary projects, as well as open to work in commissions.
