As a photographer I bring a relaxing, visionary and dynamic approach to naturally record and document people in their environments and at special occasions of their lives.

I was born in Brazil where I started working with photography in 2001, in Rio de Janeiro, my hometown. One day I decided to leave family, friends and my own culture to embark on a journey on my own to search for other lights in Australia – the place I call home since 2003.

Based in Melbourne since 2008 I have been photographing people and events and collaborating with photo shoots. I also work with recreational projects and language education for children and adults.

People, children, culture and images are my life inspirations.
