I was born and live in São Paulo, Brazil. I began learning photography through a few courses, but my influence and learning came over the years as an assistant in the studios of some important names in Brazilian photography. I consider them generous teachers. Photography is my way of expressing myself and I develop photographic series with the clear intention of telling stories, both lived and dreamed. I believe images can be used to tell stories and, if created with strength and honesty, they can deeply affect people, maybe even move and transform them.
