Born in 1979, in Madeira Island, Portugal. Having initially graduated in psychology and human resource management, photography is a form of expression and escape from daily routines that quickly turned into a beloved professional occupation.
The style mixes landscape photography and photojournalism, always looking for natural-looking, non-posed moments, following the day as it unfolds, always avoiding artificial or senseless poses, preferably in natural settings.
