Portuguese Photog Takes Body of Water Landscape Photography to Wow Level

Landscape and waterscape photography can be called lots of things, yet not innovative. However, Lisbon’s Jose Pombo has just proven to us that it can certainly be spectacular. The artist, who modestly describes himself as a self-taught amateur is anything but – and believe us, we’ve photographed our fair share of blurry, well-meaning yet god-awful landscapes in our day. No, Jose Pombo’s [...]
