ABOUT ME

I've been living in Brasil, Italy, UK, Congo. I've got a BA in History of Arts and a Master in Photography. After a period I've been assisting a photographer in Thailand and India, in 2011 I started my freelance experience. Until 2014 I've been focused on photojournalism and collaborating with international magazines. I've been working in Cape Verde, Turkey, Lebanon, Uganda, Congo, Mali... Lately I focused my research on the relationship between gender and violence in conflict zones.

I recently started exploring new innovative medias as virtual reality for storytelling and transmedia. I'm now directing the multiplatform project 'MS Kalashnikov, exploring the perception of violence in a gender spectrum'.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn more languages
I can share some of my knowledge on innovative storytelling, transmedia and documentary photography.
I can teach some bits of afro contemporary dance (I've been dancing for more than 15 years). I can cook some good Italian dishes

What I Can Share with Hosts

It depends on the time we have and how well we get along. I can bring you in some underground places. Or have a ride with my Trinity, a Honda Hornet 600.
