That’s why those kind of photography trips are so very important to me. As a freelance photographer, I think it is important to get a healthy balance between both commissioned and personal projects to better develop your own work without any client constraints.
Here Xavier reveals more about his trip, which took place earlier this year, and how he got on editing on the road using Affinity Photo for the first time on an iPad.Īt the end of February, I spent 12 days around Iceland in order to create a new series of photographs representing those dramatic winter landscapes you can only get in that part of the world. So when he approached us wanting to try out Affinity Photo for iPad for his latest trip to Iceland, we were keen for him to document his experience. His work first caught our eye early last year when we came across his Glow series, a neon-lit personal project in which Xavier travelled the world capturing the glow of various cities at night. In 2012, he made the bold decision to leave his career as a developer working for Bose Europe to go it alone and follow his passion for imagery and photography. He is entirely self-taught and originally started his career as a web developer. Meet Xavier Portela, a Belgo-Portuguese creative director currently based in Brussels. He explains how travelling light turned out to be the perfect decision… Using Affinity Photo for the first time, Xavier Portela embarked on his latest trip to Iceland armed with only his photography equipment and an iPad, leaving his usual laptop set up behind.
