OLHA LÁ - Photo Exhibition | Porto, Portugal
Inside Porto's city centre lies a hidden community, invisible to the many.
Minorities from Africa, Asia and South America provide an exotic backdrop to the city's bustling. We decided to bring their portraits to the city lights...
A visual project curated and directed by Miguel Pinheiro.
