I have always liked visual arts, especially drawings and photographs. This inspired me as a teenager to take a photography course at Sao Paulo’s Rever - Estudos de Fotografia. There my teacher was one of the great exponents of Brazilian advertising photography: André Spinola e Castro. With his influence I fell in love with the results of what an image can achieve.

In 2006 I enrolled in the SENAC Photography School where I also learned about event videography. After the training I finally could start my creative career, leaving behind the path of business management what my family wanted so much for me.

I moved to Lisbon in 2007 and worked in other fields until I established myself as a photographer/videographer.

First I worked as a photographic production assistant for Edimpresa (the publisher of magazines such as Casa Claudia, Caras, Exame, Visão and Jornal Expresso), then I was an Assistant and Camera Operator for Benfica TV and the sports channel Fuel TV. Later as Audiovisual Technician and Camera Operator for Audio Mais Lda, Singular Stage and Fizz Beach Bar Carcavelos I had the opportunity to learn about how to capture the best images of people and events. In 2012 with the Medialuso team as an Assistant and Camera Operator I contributed to events like Rock'n'Rio Lisboa, Intermúsica Belém, Olympic Marathon Swim Qualifier, UEFA Champions League, MotoGp, Big Brother and Secret story.

I currently live in Berlin where I develop creative works. I engage in curatorship, team management, operation and production of events and project development.
