Who are you?
My name is Lucas Leônidas, I'm a photographer and filmmaker based in São Paulo, Brazil. At the moment I'm studying cinema and working with commercial and non commercial projects. My work is based on lines and geometric shapes, mainly because I am passionate by visual arts.
What are you inspired by?
Most of time by literature and cinema. Makes me feel like I don't know anything, and I like this feeling. But when I want to think about my work, I take a walk. The streets are full of simples things that can inspire me. I think the deepest work came from simple things. Understanding the power of simplicity is undestanding what connect us, and this always helps the artist who wants to be honest with his work.
What was the last movie you watched?
LA Confidential. Not my type of movie, but it's always cool see Kevin Spacey.
What was the last book you read?
I recently read Three one act plays of Woody Allen, a very funny book with great dialogues. I recommend it to everyone.
Do you have any role model?
I don't have any role model. Of course, a lot of guys inspired me: Godard, Kurosawa, John Baldessari, Gabriel García Márquez, but a model is someone that can push you forward, and for me only my family and friends can do that.
What is your next creative project?
I'm working on some scripts for short films and thinking about new ways to explore photography.
What do you like about Portfoliobox?
Portfoliobox is simple and easy to use. It helps me to not waste time and just focus on what I want.
