Originally born in Brazil, I have been living in the US for the last 15 years. I'm located in Raleigh, NC

For the last 20 years I spent my free time training for cycling races and triathlons until an injury prevented me to continue training in 2006. After couple failed attempts I picked up photography as a hobby, shooting nature until a actress friend convinced me to take her picture, I never looked back and even though nature is still a hobby, I now specialize in Headshots and Fashion Portraits. I also have a few side projects including Dancing, Street, Concerts and Nature Photography.

Some childhood friends in Brazil and France and now professional photographers have been a great source of help and inspiration for the last couple years. I don't like to use the term 'self taught', I have developed and improved photography skills with a mix of reading books, attending classes and seminars and most important by failing, learning from my mistakes and improving my skills.

I have a broad, multicultural, view of fashion and an eye for photography to capture stunning images for your portfolio.
