pela This is Reportage: Family

e

Documentarian of the Year 2023 pela

Documentary Family Photographers

Lisboa, 31 de maio de 2024 – Marisa Martins foi distinguida como Fotógrafa do Ano 2023 pela This is Reportage: Family, uma plataforma de renome mundial que celebra a fotografia de família.

"Quero que as famílias vejam suas verdadeiras personalidades refletidas nas imagens. Quero compreender a dinâmica que cada membro da família traz para o grupo e, em última análise, fornecer uma representação autêntica da vida como ela é naquele momento."


Celebrar a autenticidade

A plataforma This is Reportage: Family é um verdadeiro movimento que celebra a autenticidade na fotografia familiar onde não se querem poses encenadas, apenas momentos reais e verdadeiros captados pelos melhores profissionais de fotografia de família em todo o mundo.


Para além da This is Reportage Family, Marisa recebeu também o prestigiado primeiro lugar dos prémios Documentarian of the Year da plataforma Documentary Family Photographers, que tem como objetivo celebrar e reconhecer o talento, a excelência técnica e a visão artística do corpo de trabalho dos fotógrafos documentais de família que neles participam.

“Estou incrivelmente feliz por receber este reconhecimento numa área ainda muito pouco explorada em Portugal. Ser considerada Photographer of the Year e Documentarian of the Year pelas plataformas This is Reportage Family e Documentary Family Photographers respectivamente, vai ajudar a mostrar a mais famílias que é possível fotografar o seu dia-a-dia, de forma descontraída, sem poses, e a captar as sua singularidades, de forma mais natural e autêntica.

Agradeço a todas as famílias que confiaram em mim para contar as suas histórias, é uma honra imensa não apenas receber estes prémios, mas sobretudo poder fazer disto o meu trabalho," comentou Marisa Martins.
