Fernando Guerra is a 49-year-old Portuguese architect turned architectural photographer.

A Canon Ambassador, he has been shooting since 1986 when he was just a teen, but it was only in 1999 that he opened his office to dedicate himself exclusively to photography. Based in Lisbon, Guerra travels the world shooting architecture all year.

He uses a Canon 5D R and Canon R with tilt-shift lenses—17mm and 24mm.

Your photographs have a brilliant element of depth. Is that a signature technique or just the way you like your architectural photographs to be?

I like the variety. It’s boring to always do the same thing, even when one’s office moves from one place to another every day. I love meeting architects, who, like everyone else, work in different ways. I like to follow their work for years and I like how each has their own style and way of looking at the world. This variety keeps me alert every day. There are no formulas for what I do. Everything I photograph is suggested to me by the work itself. That is the only inspiration. And the depth is always there. Like layers, giving meanings and context. I definitely don’t like to isolate subjects— persons or buildings.

What are the main challenges you face as an architectural photographer?

Dried and Dusted

The West Bengal state of India has always been known for its rich culture and diversity. This innate taste and style is reflected in their dishes too. Their cuisine is essentially. A lot of its flavours and masala mixes have been handed down from over a thousand years and Bengalis to this day retain those recipes which make them truly “shonar Bangla” dishes.
