Alexandra Ribeiro is a lifestyle photographer from Lisbon, Portugal<\/a>. You might say she is an ambassador of the natural diversity and beauty that define her country. When looking at her images, we feel like being in the middle of summery days in Lisbon or Porto. We wanted to hear from Alexandra about her inspirations and creative process, and we\u2019re overly happy to present this interview today.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi Alexandra, let\u2019s do a little Elevator Pitch: can you name in 2 sentences who you are as a person and as a photographer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a shy, introverted person who constantly works hard to step out of her comfort zone. For example, I accepted this interview and for you to publish my photo. Although I see myself as an introvert, I love being in the role of the photographer, chatting with people in photoshoots, and getting to know them better. I am always happy to get out with my camera to take images of people, nature, or small details in cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quick check, Photographers new to Stock Photography, are eager to know \u2013 how did you get into Stock Photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got into stock photography by chance. There used to be this photo-sharing site where a well-known stock agency scouted for photos. Most of the content was authentic, a real-life depiction of families and friends, and not staged situations. I used to share photos there, and they came across them, so it began. Sometime later, I felt the need to move on in search of some important principles, and that was how I started contributing to Westend61.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That makes us curious. Can you name those principles?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was looking for an agency that is fair to photographers, where there is support and teamwork, and transparency about the business. To do my best work, I love to be in an environment where you know someone is always listening to your questions and don’t feel left by yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
