Last month I was invited to participate on the Arco Rock Star, an international event dedicated to photography on the Arco’s mountains, in Northern Italy. The goal was simple, during two days I had to search for the best climbing and lifestyle photo of my team mates (Carlos “Cuca” Simes and Francisco “Xico” Ataíde) and present to the jury the two best shoots in each category.

Not knowing the spots beforehand and running against other pro photographers, I can say it was quite a challenge…

On the end we didn’t get the prize, but it was really fun to participate on the photo contest and we had a great weekend climbing in Arco!!

Here are some of the shoots:
