  • The pose and the prey.<br />
<br />
Hunting in my imagination was always more taxidermy photograph as if the prey was just a mere accessory of the hunter's pose - the real trophy.<br />
<br />
When I decided to document the daily lives of Portuguese hunters came instantly to the memory the " cliché " from the photographer JA da Cunha Moraes , captured during a hippopotamus hunt in the River Zaire , Angola, and published in 1882 in the album Africa Occidental . The white hunter posed at the center of the photograph , with his rifle , surrounded by the local tribe.<br />
<br />
It was with this cliché I got to Alentejo, south of Portugal, in search of the contemporary hunters . For several months I saw deer, wild boar, foxes. I photographed popular hunting  and private hunting estates , wealthy and middle class hunters, meat hunters and trophy hunters . I photographed those who live from hunting and those who see it as a hobby for a few weekends during the year . I followed the different times and moments of a hunt , in between the prey and the pose , wine and blood, the crack of gunfire and the murmur of the fields .<br />
<br />
I was lucky , I heard lots of hunting stories. I found an essentially old male population , where young people are a minority . Hunters, a threatened species by aging and loss of economic power caused by the crisis in the South of Europe.<br />
<br />
The result of this time is this series of images, distant from the "cliche" , from 1882.
