Interview with @alexandre_coelho22

Hello everyone. My name is Pedro Alexandre! I’m 35, I’m a proud father of a small 3 years old "grasshopper", I work in a Free Time Activities place for kids in a primary school and in my very small spare time I create props and scenarios to take photos with LEGO minifigures.
Where are you from?
I'm from a little place bathed by the Atlantic Ocean called Praia da Barra in Aveiro - Portugal!

Describe your account in 3 words?
Sighs Of Creativity

What made you start an instagram page?
Well, I was affectionate by photography since I was young. I've bought my first camera when I was 18 and I basically took pictures to everything! The years were passing and the cameras were getting more still. But in 2010...I went with my brother to a LEGO encounter in a nearby city and I've bought the first minifigure of my collection. In 2017, I had already a few others minifigures and I don't really remember what I was looking on google, but appeared some toys photography’s. So...I had the cameras and I had the minifigures...puffff...let's try!
How often are you on instagram?
I go to Instagram every day, but I try not to spend too much time, except at Saturday’s or Sunday’s, which is when I usually do my weekly publication.

How long have you been doing your account for?
I've started my account in 2017, but I've only started to make regular publications about an year and a half.

Where do you get your ideas from?
Normally, in the first days of the week, I grab the boxes where I have my minifigures and I make a little mental exercise, watching to the minifigures and thinking: "With you, I could do...". Nowadays, there are also some IG accounts that promote regular challenges and that helps a lot when I don't have ideas.
Whats your favourite lego set that you own?
Probably...the Harley-Davidson, Fat Boy!

Whos your favourite minifigure?
I'm not an a addicted on Star Wars, by the way, I think that the only set that I have from this theme is the Millennium Falcon Microfighter. But, I don't know precisely why, I love the Stormtrooper minifigure!

How many minifigures do you own?
Around 400.

If you could build anything out of lego what would it be?
I would love to build a scale model of the traditional boat from my city, the Moliceiro or of the biggest lighthouse of Portugal (that I can see from my house window), with a functional rotating light. If you don't know them, make a quick search online. You will love them.
Have you ever been to lego land? (if yes which one)
Nope…unfortunately no! 

Whats your favourite lego theme?
This one is difficult. I would say...Harry Potter.

What was your first ever lego set?
I could be wrong, but I think that was the LEGO Space Police set 6895 Spy-Trak 1, from 1989.
