I'm a try-anything-once adventurer who loves to skip town and find new things to explore. Having already lived in 9 countries and visited over 40 I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. With my backpack loaded and my passport stamped I've wandered around the world looking for the unfamiliar and making it my own. I'm passionate about photography as a way to bring that experience to others.

I started taking pictures when I was just 12 and I found out that the essence of all my experiences could be captured that way. I discovered that with a camera in my hands I could recreate my visual channel for others so I worked hard to refine that ability as a powerful tool. Before long I sensed that the more strongly I felt about places I visited, the more inspired I was to create photographs.

I have always been traveling one way or another. My family moved from our native Brazil to Peru and then the US when I was very young. I got the chance to visit Europe when I was 19 as a shoestring backpacker and that experience changed me forever. Since then I have lived in Africa twice, explored southeast Asia for the better part of a year worked in Abu Dhabi, then the Dominican Republic and Panama. My life has taken me to more places than I can count. 

After spending the better part of a decade overseas I decided to move back to the US, set down roots, and build a photography business. My clients love the work I do in Weddings and Events but my boots-on-the-ground experience in the construction industry lends me a real edge as an Architectural photographer.
