Born in south of Brazil, I’m a photographer currently based in Dublin. Photography has been my passion since I was a little child, when I used to carry my parent’s analogue camera everywhere, just for fun. I started photographing professionally in 2012, when I was just 17, and since then I’ve worked in three different studios (two in Brazil and one in Dublin called Frame My Life), from where I was able to gain a lot experience, learning a lot about lighting and post production, and develop my own style at the same time. To me photography is all about emotions, showing that there’s life and a story behind every portrait, and that’s what I want to achieve with my work.
