About

Bio

Matilde Viegas is a Portuguese photographer currently based in Porto, Portugal.

Her work intimately explores contexts, oftentimes capturing manifestations of home and belonging in the process. Whether she’s photographing for international publications such as the New York Times, brands like Cartier or on documentary assignments in Kazakhstan, Matilde imbues every one of her projects with emotion. She uses her camera as a vehicle for an empathetic investigation of the human experience, and helps clients communicate in more meaningful ways.

Matilde is an avid communicator for photography, conducting masterclasses, online courses and mentoring sessions as well as relaying her musings on the medium and life in general in a regular newsletter.

Since 2020, Matilde has been running a color darkroom and studio in Porto but even prior to her career as a photographer, much of her time was already spent in a (different kind of) lab. She holds a PhD in theoretical chemistry and science continues to inspire and inform her curiosity and approach.
