Meet Your Photo Tour Leader
My name is José Manuel Santos, and I’m a photographer, storyteller, and native of Porto.
After a long career in industry, I followed my true calling: capturing and sharing the beauty of my homeland. Since 2018 I’ve been leading photo tours, photowalks, and photography experiences in Porto and across Portugal — always guided by a passion for light, human connection, and storytelling.
My work has been published and awarded internationally, including multiple distinctions from 1x.com, one of the world’s most selective photography platforms.

Why Pictury is Different
This is not a scripted tour. It’s a journey of seeing, feeling, and connecting.
What makes my tours unique is the emotional connection I bring to each experience. You’re not just a visitor — you become part of the story. With me, you’ll explore Portugal’s authentic daily life, rich culture, and soulful light.
And because each tour is private and fully personalized, you’ll never feel rushed or out of place. It’s your time — and your story.
