I'm just starting my couch journey! Let's grab coffee/beers and walk around your city taking photos.

I'm a visual storyteller based in San Diego, California. Back in the day, I was that kid from the south of Brazil who couldn't get enough of movies. There was something magical about how they captured the essence of life through a lens.

My journey brought me to the United States in 2010 through an exchange program, and I returned to Brazil in 2012 to dive into the business world after earning my bachelor's degree in logistics. But you know what they say—sometimes you must quit the day job (or have a panic attack) to chase your passion. So, here I am, a former corporate head turned full-time photographer.

I'm all about bringing my truth to the visual scene these days. Whether diving into personal projects, capturing the rawness of life through documentary photography, freezing moments on movie sets, or creating fine art, I'm on a mission to make every shot/second count.
