Hi there,

First of all, I consider myself a sincere photographer. I'm not out looking to impress anyone artificially. I believe it makes me work in a lighter way and reach better results. A strong sense of respect with the models is a principle to honor.

Let's share opportunities! Photo models, colleagues and suppliers, you're always welcome to contact me.

I'm based in Sao Paulo-Brazil, where I was born and raised. Photography has accompanied me since my childhood. My father and old brother practiced it, although as enthusiasts.
I studied advertising in university in the middle 80's and then I started working as an art director / graphic designer. At this time, I considered my photographers both as suppliers and masters.

Since 2008, I've been focused on turning my old hobby into my main job, due to real opportunities offered by my ex-agencies and fellow photographers.

Now I've been working for that companies, with events and promotional actions photo reports, still and portrait photography. In addition, I had some works published in a book and some travel guides and magazines.

The skills in model photography with professional lighting started when I was one of the responsibles for the production of a peculiar fundraising calendar, back in 2009. Between the 24 chosen photos (12 months x 2 versions of the calendar), 16 were mine!
