About Me — Miguel Feuggin

Sketch by author of hands writing Feuggin. Photo by author (2000)

Photograph is my most enduring passion hobby. It has been for most of my adult life and it’s a trade I come back to explore and share my pictures every so often either online, submitting to photo contests or public exhibits. This is a self-portrait style story that is very much related to my livings related to shooting artistic.

Self-portrait at Palácio da Bolsa, oPorto. Photo by author (1990).

First in my catalog is what I suppose would be my first self portrait taken with a photographer awareness. I’m wearing my gold and purple Lakers t-shirt so should be 13 years old, around 1990. It’s taken in a reflection of a jewelry display at Palácio da Bolsa in oPorto. It was taken on a school trip to the birthplace of Portugal, Guimarães and oPorto. To this day I’m still guessing how my father allowed me to take his Canon, he really should be in a great mood. Also in the picture the Silma Bosch SB20 flash is shown. Nowadays I’m using it as the flash in my Nikon FM2. No sync cable needed, just plug’n’play . It’s amazing how technology related to photo equipment is so standard.

Still nature with cameras from my Father António, Grand-Father Manuel and Grand-Uncle Argentino. The russian Leica model is my own purchase. Photo by author (2001)
