Inês Leote (Portugal) is a photojournalist at Mensagem.

She was born in Lisbon, but returned to the Algarve when she was six days old and only moved to the city she loves 18 years later to study.

Now 23, she likes to photograph people and emotions and the streets are her comfort, especially those of the Lisbon she always wanted to be her own. She can't see photography without words and she can't see herself without both. She is a photojournalist at Mensagem.
