My name is Rafael Santana, a Portuguese photographer born in Rotterdam in 1972.
Growing up surrounded by the vibrant culture and diversity in Rotterdam I developed a deep passion for capturing the world through my lens, this journey behind the lens began in the vibrant streets of this multicultural city. My work blends the richness of my heritage with the diverse, dynamic energy of Rotterdam, resulting in a unique collection of images that tell a story of culture, light, and emotion and essence of the world around us. But the great love is in landscape photography, I've been inspired by the natural world and its endless beauty, striving to capture the essence of every scene I encounter. The photography is a celebration of the vastness and tranquility of nature, offering a glimpse into the stunning landscapes that often go unnoticed.
I invite you to explore my world through my photography and find a piece that speaks to you.
