Aerial point of view from Times Square, showing how bright the location versus the streets around. New York City.

Xavier Portela is a Belgo-Portuguese creative director, self-taught photographer and filmmaker currently residing in Brussels. He started his career as a web developer after he graduated from Multimedia Belgium. Frustrated by his daily job as a developer for Bose Europe, he dropped it all to work on his own…except he also decided to change the nature of his job at the same time: from developer to photographer.
