Kyoto is one of those places where I feel home even if I’m very far from it. Probably my favorite city. I visited it twice and the second time I spent 2 weeks on location just to visit, explore, relax and capture visuals. It took me a couple of years to process all the pictures and get it done but here it is: Kyoto Glow.

Propelled by his vision to articulate and illustrate the various sounds, temperatures, and pulsating electricity of bustling cities,
Portela’s images stir the imagination and set stories of intrigue and possibility adrift.
