Finding a Sense of Place with @diogolage

To see more photos from Diogo, follow @diogolage on Instagram.

For Portuguese architect Diogo Lage (@diogolage), photography is about discovering and capturing physical places. After losing all of his negatives in a flood, Diogo took a 10-year break from photography, returning to the craft only a year ago. “I decided to hike the Way of St. James,” he says, referring to the pilgrimage route to the shrine of the Apostle James in Santiago, Spain. “This inspired me to start shooting again, giving those walks meaning.”

Having studied art and design at university, Diogo finds artistic influences almost everywhere. “My numerous influences and inspirations often serve as the backdrop for my photos,” he says.

Diogo currently lives in Porto, and enjoys capturing the city’s quirky locations, luring local characters into his shots. “After a little bit of conversation, they rarely refuse,” he says. Diogo hopes his photography will encourage others to explore their own cities, and even visit the spots where his pictures were taken.
