Matilde Viegas’ sun-soaked photo series captures the cacophony of Portuguese markets

The composition is layered and dense, featuring a foreground of piled textiles and a background dominated by hanging clothes and market stalls. The human element is captured in the middle ground, interacting with the goods. The vertical lines of the hanging clothes contrast with the horizontal spread of the merchandise.

The photograph has a slightly desaturated, filmic quality, suggesting natural light and a documentary style. The depth of field is moderate, keeping both the foreground goods and the background activity visible.
