  ""It's all about the brain, not the camera!" I'm always saying... Paulgi taught me: "It's all about the people and little details!". The problem is that there's always much more than that on his pictures, I can see the ultimate level a photographer can achieve: people's emotions. Irony, joy, expectations and anxieties -- a sense of profound humanity, a clinical anthropological eye. All of this marked on every face in such a form very few can capture."

  ""thirty years ago I first showed David Hurn my photographs, the result of more than seven years of struggle to be a photographer.It took him about 30 seconds to loock though the lot and deliver his judgment: boring. "Derivate", he said. "You won´t make it"
  
  We have been friends ever since"

  About Paulgi I could say the same thing, I remember when he took a look to my work and said "horrible" "it's a bad gayscale"
  But he was just expressing what he feelt about.
  
  We have been friends ever since"

  "Simple lines, cheerful textures, and kind faces. Paulo Alegria's work is like a fervid shower of a human altruism in the ocean of so many apathetic creations all over Flickr. Every time I get tired of my hectic life I revoke small but charming country on the East Coast of the Atlantic ocean, where Paulo works and creates beautiful things in order to make our world, at least a tiny bit, a happier place to live.
  I take my hat off to Paulo's positive spirit and his truly immense talent."

  "Paulo is the founder of the Antiphoto group and looking at the pool is certainly the best testimony of what a great and talented eye he has. Taking pictures is not easy, but having the vision to establish a whole group with such a distinctive and unique style may be even harder. Thanks for giving us the Antiphotos and the ability to share them !"
