CURRENT MISSION

Get the most amazing images, meet more and more interesting and inspiring people...and paint as many walls as I can to send my message of freedom.

ABOUT ME

I am a 36 year old brazilian photographer and visual artist, and decided a long time ago to travel all around the world to learn more about a little bit of everything but most of all, meeting new cultures and having new experiences.

I still work in fashion photography (in the business for 10 years) but recently moved to fine art photography and my all time love: street art. So these are more than obvious reasons for just packing my equipment and go! World is my frame.

My friends say I'm easy going, like to talk a lot about photography, politics, art and etc. Love food and some good wine. Music inspires me, from classical to contemporary; I just like to absorb everything.

Moving back soon to Brazil where I would love to host my friends from all over the world, I promise to it will be an amazing experience!

Paz e amor!

PHILOSOPHY

As you get old you just turn to simplify things. And that's my way: just keeping it simple, no more mess, please.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Now I am travelling with my photography project - "no parking" signs all over the world - and then I'll return to São Paulo, Brazil to organize the images and make an exhibition, and as soon as possible being able to host as many people as I can in my flat. Born and raised in Rio but trust me you'll love São Paulo!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Algo increíble que he hecho

Portraits. Nothing is more expressive than a look. Did some exhibitions and what an experience it was!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

For me, life is all about sharing. I am a photographer and a visual artist so for me it's all about learning and sharing. I get so excited sometimes that honestly I would to teach everybody how to photograph, draw and paint - I can't be good as I'd wish but I have all the patience in the world to start all over again. I read a lot about art, philosophy and politics so there's always a god excuse to talk and share points of view.
