Emanuel Constantino (b. 2002), Portugal, is an independent photographer currently living in Porto. He has a degree in Photography from School of Media Arts and Design, in P.Porto. He is currently attending the Master's Degree in Cinema and Photography - Specialization in Photography - at the same institution.
His main focus of research and authorial creation falls on the universe of documentary and fiction, in their various intersections and interactions. He seeks to understand and manipulate the boundary at which documentary ceases to be documentary and begins to assert itself as fiction, and vice versa, in his mix. Vernacular and archive photography are also areas that he explores and approaches, usually integrating them into his projects.
