As a retraction system of the world that surrounds me, photography takes on a role of merely capturing images that can be beautiful, that appeal to my senses, but that does not interest me aesthetically significant.Rather, I like to photograph the things that I look at, but I can not see and that only the camera can reveal to me. Only with the camera I can figure out what I can not contemplate otherwise.My creations, those which in fact I like from the point of view of the aesthetics behind them, reveal a world that, being my surroundings, is only visible in the product of my camera. The camera is for me, as the brush is for the painter. Separate instruments to revelation images, states of mind, my mind. Here she takes the leading role to reveal other worlds, like time, space and movement. The picture is not what I photographed. The photograph is a divergent reality. My main photography reflects the nonconformist individual I am. Abstract thinking and constant pursuit of the new are like opium to me. The risk and pleasure it gives me is what feeds my passion for photography. My goal is not the conventional photography. My goal is the other side of reality that surrounds me, the camera side, and this is unique. I do not want to tell stories with my photos. I want to establish forms, shadows, entities, ghosts, the surreal or supernatural, which populates my head.

Quotes on my work
QUOTES ON MY WORKFor some time I follow the work of Arlindo and let me tell you it is a job with great quality, mood, bold, but above all very very professional. For this reason he deserves not only to follow him in linkedin, twitter but also through his personal website that I highly recommend. If you need an experienced photographer, professional and with unsurpassed quality, then Arlindo Pinto is the name.Rui Serra, General Founder and Administrator(GFA), Graphyus Rui Serra, Graphic and Web Design --Breaking rules, not being limited by reality, using and recycling techniques, this photographer is not merely by the registration desk. His personal touch, at the click or in post-production is characterized by the boldness that is not retained in what is expected. What would this expressive forms of representation be, if they were limited and defined by concrete words? The "punctum"of Arlindo's photographs is that. The tools to accomplish their photographic works are used unabashedly. The light is just the limit of our ability to see and imagine. If photography is a way to look alive, Arlindo is a photographer who refuses to accept this passivity when placed in the front position to the real.Alípio PadilhaPhotographerwww.alipiopadilha.com--Who knows the work of Arlindo Pinto knows that can always expect some surprises. Because this work is done for a permanent renewal, as if the gaze of the author, remaining the same, could show that it can see things from a different angle, new, always new. A new form. It is noticed that the author is not afraid to take chances. And the truth is that he wins with this, and wins the images, and their viewers, who can not remain indifferent.But Arlindo Pinto is not just an observer, is also a creator. More than that, too, is primarily a creator, or rather an inventor. Perhaps this explains his eyes looking for new things. A look, maybe a little obedient, because the seeking for something new is dictated by the inventiveness of the author. In so many things, in various places, moments you later realize are unrepeatable. The time to pass on the savannah, with a pensive animal around. A kids football game. The body of a woman in the late afternoon. A play, as if go back in time several decades in Lisbon. The older men in the garden, sitting with his back to us.I believe that the author may have in his work the experience of the narrator of a novel for me unforgettable, the beautiful "Soldiers of Salamis', written by the Spanish Javier Cercas. Things, anything, anything he wants to retain, anything he wants to tell the look to retain, and still do not know how. The confused look, waiting, or looking for it too. And the author also. Until the moment he realizes how he must do. And see, before the image, as it will stay. In the book is more or less so. At one point it reads: "I saw my entire book and true, my true and complete story, and knew only that I needed to write it, pass it to clean, because it was in my head from the beginning to end ... "For the image, then, only one click is missing.António Manuel VendaAuthorwww.floresta-do-sul.blogspot.comAbout the series "Threads of Life"--The act of photograph terminates a interesting duality. On the one hand, celebrates the freedom to express ourselves artistically, but can also manipulate the "reality" through the use of different techniques and at the same time capturing that particular image - which often costs as much to achieve - a single moment. Arlindo Pinto masterfully uses this double feature that promotes photography, never forgetting to feed his spirit of innovation with new artistic approaches.António MoreiraPainterwww.circuloarturbual.com--As an observer, I find the pictures of Arlindo a kind of replacement of traditional look, find one embodiment of decoded figures and of thoughts decoders in a abandonment of perfection of the digital image and a meeting of the subjectivity of the image as representation of a photographic assay.Luís RochaPhotographerwww.luisrochafotografia.jimdo.com
