Available to hire
I’m Eduardo Martins, a documentary and editorial photographer based in Porto, Portugal, with more than two decades of experience in photojournalism and cultural documentation. My work has taken me across Europe and Asia, collaborating with major media outlets to explore cultural heritage and contemporary social issues.
A notable project, Nelayan: Vontade em trânsito, documented a community of 500 Indonesian fishermen in Caxinas, Portugal’s largest fishing community, and the exhibition has been touring nationally since 2023. I continue to serve national and international editorial and corporate clients, bringing a journalist’s eye and a documentary filmmaker’s sensitivity to every assignment.
