For more than six years, Rita Ansone has been the photographer behind People Of Lisbon, photographing 220+ people for the series and hundreds more across the city.
Now we finally turn the microphone - and camera - on her.
In this long-form rough cut, Rita talks about growing up in Riga, leaving Latvia with a one-way ticket to England, living across Europe and eventually finding herself stuck in Lisbon when the pandemic arrived.
We dig through her photographic archive, talk about her mother working in a photo lab, where her love of photography came from, her life in Lisbon, what catches her eye when she takes a photograph - and what six years of photographing the people of this city has meant to her.
Uncut, unpolished and a little more intimate. This is the longer conversation behind our special People of Lisbon film about the woman who is normally on the other side of the lens.
Rita Ansone - Lisbon’s most iconic photographer you’ve never heard of.
