ABOUT

I was about 14 years old when I first imagined myself as a photographer. At that time, surfing was everything to me. I tried to understand how to begin, but without the means or direction, photography slowly became a forgotten idea.

Life eventually led me into advertising and design, where I worked across different creative projects. Although I enjoyed the process, photography never truly left my imagination. The turning point came when my father gave me his old professional camera, a Canon 40D — a small gesture that changed everything.

 

I began by photographing landscapes — Rio de Janeiro offered no shortage of inspiration — which felt like a natural starting point. Soon after, I discovered documentary photography, and through it, I developed a strong connection to black and white imagery, drawn to its honesty, contrast and emotional depth.

 

Over time, my work expanded into motion. I began working as a Director of Photography and Cinematographer, developing visual narratives for documentaries, fashion films, short films and commercial audiovisual projects. Alongside visual direction, I work extensively as a Steadicam Operator, using camera movement as a storytelling tool to enhance emotion, rhythm and presence.

 

This evolution allowed me to merge my photographic background with cinematic language, focusing on light, movement and composition. Whether leading the visual concept of a project or operating Steadicam on set, my approach is always rooted in strong visual storytelling and authenticity.

 

In 2017, I returned to surfing, just like in my teenage years. The passion resurfaced — for both the sport and the art. Surfing continues to influence my work, shaping my sense of timing, balance and flow.

 

Today, I am still getting wet at sunrise, chasing something new — and in many ways, something timeless.
