Overview   About   Film   Contacts

“Nuno Serrão is a Portuguese photographer, interested in the dialogues between science and contemporary art. Each of his images considers how information is handled, shared, and perceived, framing scenarios as micro-narratives, demonstrating a sensitivity and a curiosity for the planet and its inhabitants.”

Kate Simpson, Aesthetica Magazine, 2019

Hi, I’m a Portuguese photographer and filmmaker born in Madeira Island. My blank slate starts with a functional level of emotion, logic, minimalism, and curiosity; I consider them the metric system for my creative process.
Curiosity often leads me into document frameable stories that, in the end, will pose a whole new set of questions. With the sum of all relatable questions, I think I’ll get an answer.
