High School — Professional Course of Photography
2007 — 2010 Lisbon, Portugal
I always loved sketching, drawing, to photograph random stuff and everything related to fine-arts but I didn’t follow that because everybody said that I wouldn’t have a future.
Somehow my desire was to have a course of Fine-Arts in high school but I decided not to. So I went to Social Sciences and Humanities Course thinking to be a Psychologist…
Wrong way! C’mon what have I done?! I should have followed my intuition! So in the middle of the 2nd year of that course I heard about there was occurring a new Professional Course of Photography and I thought… Hey I want to do that, I want to switch to that course! I don’t even like this one!
So it happened. I switched from the middle of the 2nd year to the 1st of the Professional Course of Photography. I had to learn everything that they already taught to my classmates in a half of a usual academic year and also bought a camera for myself, a Canon 450D. I accomplished it so well and it was the best choice I ever made.
The real passion for photography begun in 2007. It was 3 awesome years learning everything about Photography and Image Edition. I already had some skills in Photoshop that I learned before but they also taught a few more tricks. I had the best teachers that I could ever had, they taught me so much. My classmates were also awesome guys. We were a few but we made a great team together! Thank you all.
My favorite photos and top ones from those times:
During that professional course, I had the opportunity to do two Internships in Photojournalism. One in the 2nd year and the other in the 3rd. The fist one was at Semmais Jornal (a regional Newspaper) located in Setúbal, PT. The other in Jornal de Negócios (a daily Business Newspaper) in Lisbon, PT.
Jornal De Negócios
Internship — Photo Report
Intern “Jornal de Negócios” as Photo Reporter — photo report,
image edition and computer file organization.
June 2010 — July 2010 Lisbon, Portugal
Jornal Semmais
Internship — Photo Report
Intern at “Jornal Sem Mais” as Photo Reporter — photo report,

Then, even through I had to do two reports for both internships, at the end of the 3rd year I had to do a final work to finally finish the course.
Later then I upgraded to a Canon 600D. I have some blogs/websites where I publish the photographs (from the oldest to the newest one) where most photos are taken with that camera:
Olhares — olhares.sapo.pt/carolinacravinho
Tumblr — carolinacravinho.tumblr.com
VSCO — vsco.co/cravinho
I still photograph nowadays and now I own a Canon 5D Mark IV. For different perspectives I use a DJI Mavic Air 2 and a GoPro Hero 7 (aerial and underwater).
I use Instagram to share my photos around the world but now I am more focused in Graphic Design!
Go to previous Know me Better or to next Architecture.
