About us

So happy you’re here!
We are a married couple, the proud parents of two boys, and the co-founders of the Lisbon Photography brand Your Story in Photos.

We are hopeless wanderers, foodies, curious minds, and human rights advocates.

Telling visual stories through creative photography is a passion for both of us.
This passion began several years ago when we were both living in Dublin, Ireland, as corporate workers.

Whether we shot in our neighborhood, or on one of our trips, image-making helped us discover beauty and stories even in the most unexpected things.
Before we could realize it, photography became an integral part of our life, our way of making sense of the world around us.

CREATORS OF BEAUTIFUL STORIES

ABOUT EMANUELE

I’m from beautiful Siracusa in the south-eastern corner of Sicily, Italy, but I left my hometown when I was 18.
I’ve been a full-time professional photographer for several years now and have worked with various clients in the travel & tourism industry, including the Tourism Bureau of Central Portugal, Momondo, and Mr. Hudson Explores.

I photographed Portuguese author Nelson Carvalheiro’s book on Portuguese Gastronomy “Viagens pelas receitas de Portugal“, which won two international Gourmand awards.

My travel pictures have been published by several print magazines such as National Geographic and Afar.

Out of his interest in social issues, I occasionally work on projects along with several Portuguese and international NGOs.

I’m the main shooter, editor, social media manager, and point of contact at Your Story in Photos.

When I’m not taking pictures, I’m either playing with my kids, reading, playing guitar, or cooking.

Speaking of which, I cook home-made pizza (almost) every Friday!
