Cabrita was a self-taught photographer. He worked as a photojournalist for the weekly O Século and their magazine O Século Ilustrado, from Lisbon. He also did the covers of albums by musicians like Amália Rodrigues, Carlos Paredes, Luís Goes and Simone de Oliveira. He directed many short film documentaries and was the cinematographer of Belarmino (1964), by Fernando Lopes, one of the first and most important films of the Portuguese Cinema Novo (New Cinema). He was the photographer of several books about Portuguese patrimony, on subjects like cuisine, Portuguese religious architecture, castles and natural parks and reservations. Cabrita’s name was given to a secondary school and to the municipal auditorium in his home city of Barreiro.
