Le lièvre et la tortue?

Jose Pedro Cortes has photographed extensively in three cities across Europe, including London, Paris and Berlin. His work forms a dense poetic narrative of encounters with city, inhabitants and loose events of the street. In his recent series, "Untitled Light," the late, slanting city light catches pedestrians mid-stride in a subtle game of disclosure versus darkness. Pedro Cortes received a MA Photography (with honors) from Kent Institute of Art and Design in 2004, and is currently working toward an exhibition at the National Gallery of Photography in Lisbon, November 2005.
