Rodrigo Matos

I have crossed the Dom Luís bridge more times than I can count, on both of its two decks, and I still choose the upper level for filming since the view opens up completely from there. On camera I hold the phone steady against the wind partway across, then move down to the riverbank for a second angle looking back up at the ironwork. I explain the engineering behind the design and its connection to Gustave Eiffel's circle without overstating the link. I answer questions about the bridge's construction in real detail, since most visitors only ever hear the short version.
