Hello everyone!
My name is Rita and I am passionate about Photography and CrossFit!
I am based in Porto, Portugal, but am willing and able to travel for work or other photography opportunities. I speak English, Spanish, Portuguese and a little bit of French.
Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have!
A little bit of my personal history...
I am originally from the city of Guarda, where I spent my life until the age of 17. Afterward, I moved a bit south to Évora, where I spent 3 years studying Tourism at the University of Évora. When I completed my degree, I ended up in the Algarve, where I began my career as a tourism entertainer. Currently, I am in Porto, a city where I always wanted to live, and I am very happy to be here!
At the moment, I work full-time as a Recruiter in the software field, and whenever the opportunity arises, I photograph.
In 2017, I took a course in Digital Photography at the Portuguese Institute of Photography, where I learned the three basic disciplines of photography.
I have been doing CrossFit since 2016 and I have a particular affinity for heavy barbell workouts. On the other hand, burpees are not my favorite exercise.
During the COVID-19 lockdown in 2021, I used my extra time to improve my editing skills and start a new personal photography project - CrossFit at home. When we were able to return to training at the gym, I decided to also start taking photos there. It was at this point that I realized that my two passions, CrossFit and Photography, could be combined!
In 2022, I decided to create the brand Glimpse Photography, with a focus on sport events and CrossFit competitions. Currently, I want to be more present in the community and leave behind good memories of the events, and never leave behind the possibility of expanding my services to other countries!
What more can I say about me?
- My favorite color is Pink.
- "How you doin?" - I'm a huge fan of the TV series Friends.
- If you're struggling to come up with a gift idea for my birthday, I have a suggestion - socks!
