I wanted to see what the city feels like when you stop following the touristy road. So I walked with no destination, getting lost on purpose and following whatever caught my eye. Lisbon is the aging buildings, the faded colors, the walls covered in street art, the hidden alleys, the quiet streets, the small details, colorful houses, underground places, places a bit worn but still full of charm and life.
This is the Lisbon outside the postcards and pretty touristy pictures.
It was hard to chose only twenty pictures.
I recommend listening to the music I added while watching the pictures.
P.s. : No edits on the photos. I wanted them to stay as I saw the city: one shot, raw, imperfect, and alive.

A quote from Shannon Larratt, founder of @bmezine . That quote got stuck in my mind for the past 15 years, and I did it. I've Always been working hard, way too hard sometimes, but at the end I never had to kill a part of me to please anybody.
