Hey there! I'm Filo, the person behind 8o8.

Why 8o8?

You might be wondering about the number 808. Well, it’s pretty special to me. I was born on the 8th of August (8/08) in the beautiful city of Lisboa-Sintra, Portugal. It’s a part of my story and a little nod to my roots.

My Journey into Photography:

My love for cars started thanks to my brother, who introduced me to Gran Turismo 1 on the PS1. I was hooked from the first race! That early passion turned into a lifelong obsession with everything automotive.

Movies like the second Fast and Furious, games like Need for Speed, and shows like Wacky Races, Speed Racer, and Top Gear from the early 2000s have all fueled my inspiration and shaped my vision of the automotive world.

At 15, I got my first camera. From that first click, I knew I wanted to photograph cars. There's something magical about capturing the essence and power of these incredible machines.

What Drives Me:

I’m all about automotive photography. Whether it’s the sleek lines of a classic car or the futuristic design of a modern supercar, I love bringing out the unique personality of each vehicle.

I shoot both digital and film because each medium offers something special: digital for its precision and film for its timeless quality.

My Work:

I’ve been lucky enough to have my work featured in @rufsince1939 and @automobilipininfarinaofficia’s Instagram page.

These experiences have helped me grow and hone my craft.

A Little More About Me:

When I’m not behind the camera, I love exploring new places, diving into creative projects or working on my own car. These moments inspire me and bring fresh perspectives to my photography.
