Brandon Cabral describes photography as being such an integral element of his life that he always ensures that he has his camera with him as much as he would his keys, wallet and phone.
“There’ll be times when I can’t remember where I put my phone but I always know where my camera are….I’ve been able to capture moments from Fort Taber to Frenchman Street in New Orleans, from Bay Village to Brava, Cape Verde,” says Cabral.
But it wasn’t always that way.
Raised in every “End” of New Bedford - the West, the North and the South, and as residentially east as one can get, a block away from the fishing docks, he was raised by a young single mother, with much help from a grandmother and a multitude of aunties and uncles.
