José Pedro Cortes is a Portuguese photographer, living and working in Lisbon.
His personal and poetic photographs, being landscapes, portraits or still lives, act as a map of visual possibilities that, through impulse or fabrication, observe contemporary life.
His work has been exhibited internationally in venues like Instituto Tomie Ohtake, Centre Gulbenkian Paris, Deichtorhallen Hamburg, Museu de Serralves, Robert Morat Galerie, MAAT Lisboa or Galeria Francisco Fino.
Besides his photography practice, he is the founder and editor of Pierre von Kleist Editions.
