Photography Work

Helena Corrêa de Barros was an amateur photographer all her life and participated in exhibitions and photo-competitions in Portugal and abroad, having received some awards.[2]

Barros started photographing in 1924, at age 14.[3] Her father made and collected stereo lantern slides that might have been influential in her later practice of photographing with color slides.[4] Her photography themes were country and maritime landscapes, rural and urban life, as well as some more abstract images, family photographs and travel. From 1947 to 1999 Barros used color slides in most of her photography work, namely kodachrome,[5] which she began using in 1947.[6]

In 2003 her family donated her collection to Lisbon's City Hall (Câmara Municipal de Lisboa).
