I was born in Lisbon in 1975 and I am currently living in the mountains near Oporto, in a small village called Arouca. I started photography by the age of 14, with a 35mm camera offered by my father who was an enthusiastic amateur photographer. With a Marketing college degree and several other technical courses, including photography, I have worked in different areas, all connected with creativity, keeping photography always as a hobby. Over the years I developed my skills in photography and editing. Only in 2010 I became a professional photographer and since then I have been trying hard to find my place in the market. Currently shooting almost everything from weddings to portraits or products (including food photography), I am still pursuing the dream to become exclusively a portrait and commercial/advertising photographer, shooting and creating bold projects that explore the great potential of modern photography.
