Manifesto
The Vision and Philosophy of Tiago & Tania
Our Commitment to Limited-Edition Photography as Art
At the heart of Tiago & Tania’s work lies a deep conviction that photography is more than mere documentation it’s a medium for storytelling, emotion, and connection. In our Manifesto, we lay out the principles guiding every project: rigorous craftsmanship, intentional scarcity, and a dialogue between artist and collector. By limiting each series to six numbered prints and one exclusive master print, we honor the image’s potency and create a bond of trust and intimacy with those who bring our work into their lives.
The BlazoN
Symbol of Their Modus Operandi
Drawing on the centuries-old tradition of heraldic crests, Tiago & Tania’s blazon encapsulates their creative process and core values through four key emblems:
THE CROW
In medieval lore, the crow represents wisdom forged through experience. Here it signifies the duo’s commitment to living fully gathering personal stories and transforming them into collectible photographs.
The Mountain Horizon
Echoing the jagged peaks found on ancient shields, the stylized mountains stand for the ambitions and challenges Tiago & Tania embrace on every expedition. Each summit reached is a new creative milestone.
The Six Stars
Inspired by classical star arrangements in European heraldry, the six stars represent both the number of photographs in each series and the number of prints available for each image emphasizing the exclusivity and cohesion of every collection.
The Crescent Moon
Historically a symbol of rarity and renewal in heraldry, the moon here marks the one-off “primo scatto” of each collection: a singular image, unpublished and made available only to those who own at least one piece from the series.
Together, these elements form a modern crest rooted in genuine heraldic meaning that narrates how Tiago & Tania seek out, capture and share their vision of beauty.
