In the relentless, golden light of the Algarve, reality splits in two. There is the person, and there is their shadow. It was this fleeting duality, observed from a sun-drenched rooftop balcony in the vibrant Marina de Albufeira, Portugal, that gave birth to Ricardo Alberto Leiva’s captivating series, SOMBRAS (shadows).

Each image in this collection is a unique moment, frozen in time. These striking visuals are now available for purchase as exclusive Editions of 1/1, ensuring that the particular story captured in each photograph remains singular and unrepeated—much like the shadows themselves.
