His passion for capturing the human condition in unique and challenging situations has been his true motivation, driving him to learn more and to better himself, not only as a photographer but also as a human being. Since his graduation in the Portuguese Institute of Photography in 2009, he has enjoyed a series of broad subjects: from his first life changing project on the daily life of a Oncology Hospital, to his current long term project documenting the religious culture and traditions on the North of Portugal. Throughout these projects, and many others, Ruben has developed the will to travel the world and further capture the true human element.
