A couple years ago, I ended up in Kobe (神戸市), Japan for a few hours because I was hungry and I wanted to taste their beef. I had no camera with me because of laziness, stupid. That evening when I left the city, I promised myself to come back to shoot those streets. It took me one year but now it's done.

Through it all, Portela keeps the same crisp imagery he’s known for and allows viewers to enjoy Kobe’s cityscape.
We feel almost as if we’ve been pulled into the adventure, accompanying the photographer as he stalks across the city to take his next shot.
