Editors'Pick

Sometimes we come across talent that's hard to pass up. Maria Louceiro's live photography and delicate, lush aesthetic really made a lasting impression on us. When she got in touch with us about future collaborations with BS, we thought first, a formal introduction was appropriate.

Born in Porto, Portugal, Maria studied Mining and Geo-environmental Engineering– and soon found a love for drawing and photographing the mines themselves, then actually working in them. Many of her shoots coincide with the Porto promoters at Amplificason- who put on everything from Rock-A-Rolla magazine releases to big avant-garde/noise festivals.

"Lately I have been listening to Cloudkicker, and found a great band called Marché La Void. Besides that, I'm listening to Bark Psychosis, and RA, to which I did photography and artwork. Oh and yesterday, I went to the Alcest+ Les Discrets+Soror Dolorosa concert (photos of that to come!)."

We hope to see more of her work at Bad Sounds, and her great taste goes without saying. Check out the photos below and more, here.
