Jean Charles Pinheira

Jean Charles Pinheira (born April 2, 1932 in Grenoble ) is a French photographer.

Life

The son of a Portuguese and a French woman was already interested in photography as a teenager . At the age of 16, he met the film stars Rita Hayworth and Ali Khan on an island in Mozambique , about whom he wrote his first photo report.

In 1968 he decided to emigrate to South Africa . A meeting with his Portuguese uncle in Geneva and his stories about what was then the Portuguese colony of Angola made him change his plans. He stayed there from 1970 until independence in 1975. It was not until 2010 that the resulting photo report appeared in a highly acclaimed book in Portugal ( Em paz por terras de Angola ).

Among his diverse publications, above all his photographs of the various French landscapes and traditions should be mentioned. In addition to his recordings and a. from Israel and Portugal , his pictures from Brazil in particular found international circulation and are repeatedly the subject of corresponding exhibitions.

Jean Charles Pinheira now lives in Pocé-sur-Cisse , in the Indre-et-Loire department , with his wife Marie Christine Pinheira. She accompanied him on the second half of his Angola business in the early 1970s, shortly before they got married.
