Hi! My name is Edgar Almeida and i’m a photographer and designer!
Welcome to my site, here you’ll see some of my work and some info about me.
Born in Venezuela, i moved to Portugal still a little kid.
When I got older, I started studying Computers and Electronics Engineering at the University of Coimbra.
At the time, I bought a cheap digital camera so I could take some photos without worrying about development costs giving me the possibility of shooting at will. At that moment the taste for photography and image in general started to grow up.
The difficulties in the engineering degree allied with this new acquired taste resulted in changing to Art & Design also at Coimbra.
Do you want to know me better?
