ABOUT ME

“Photography Is My Passion & Nature Is My Refuge

Combine the two, and that is where I am most at Peace”

 

Mineiro from Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil. Resident in Nova Lima, a metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte.

Graduated from the School of Electronic Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, United States.

After graduating, I worked in the city of Santa Cruz, in the Monterey Bay area on central California’s coast. On the other side of the bay, is the beautiful city of Carmel where I discovered several art and photography galleries and the desire to photograph was born.

I started as a photographer with the urge to tell stories, give people new perspectives and ways of seeing the world. Today I am self-taught photographer and dedicated to making transformative art. 

I value the heart more than the technique, I believe that one of the noblest functions of art is to help the individual to reveal themselves.
