Born in Ponte de Sor, Alentejo, Luís Pinto Mendes is one of our favourite Instagramers (with nearly 80,000 followers) for his aesthetic photos, a mixture of travel, food and personal style. We talked with Luís to know a little more about him:
Tell us more about yourself...
Son of Alentejo, surrendered to Lisbon and in love with Portugal.
Living in Lisbon since 2010, where work in a NGOs, with women and children victims of domestic violence, a demanding and challenging daily work.
I like escapes, living simple things and take life seriously. Adventurer - love to travel and discover new places, I wanted to be Indiana Jones!
I collect moments and like to share them. I value family and friends.
I consider myself a Foddie - a new word, but it fits the relationship I have since kid with food, I am a good fork!
What inspires you?
Travel, people and art - attentive, observer, critic and "dissatisfied" in constant demand, I breathe all that visually attract me!
Photography - I like immortalize moments through photographs, which to me would not make sense if they aren’t shared.
