The Flying Photographer - Fernando Guerra
Premiere scheduled for Autumn 2022
The documentary The Flying Photographer about Fernando Guerra, one of the most relevant architectural photographers in the world, aims to reveal the person and his view of architecture and photography, as well as the process and the stories behind his photos.
In the last 15 years, architectural photography has become essential in the relationship of architects with society. Fernando Guerra's photographic reports have made noted and renowned contemporary architecture, in particular Portuguese architecture.
All of his photographs, including the award-winning ones, are broadcast on a global scale. Fernando Guerra's photographs are widely known and much is written and talked about the photographer. But he tries to remain invisible, away from cameras, interviews, and conferences.
Therefore, the documentary represents a unique opportunity to get to know one of the best architectural photographers in the world, his stories, his look, and his “board” on his creative process.
The documentary about Fernando Guerra is an invitation to reflect on the role of photography in architecture, on the role of architecture in Portugal and in the world, and, at the same time, a journey that allows you to know more about the creative process and get to know the personal side of the photographer.
The film is about someone who gives himself up every day to the passion of photographing, without restrictions or excuses: “the best of everything”, as architect Arthur Casas says in the trailer, and who after having worked for several Pritzkers, continues to say that what interests him "are always people". Marcio Kogan goes further: “he is a superhuman being”.
