Editorial and Documentary Photographer.

Currently share my time between Lisbon and Italy.

The oldest memory I have with Photography is picking up a camera someone had left at my grandfather's house. I proceeded to snap at anything: people, dogs, trees, bicycles, food, anything. I was ecstatic with this object, its buttons, the weight, the power of decision, framing, timing. I loved the camera I loved what you could do with it, I loved that you somehow became a time wizard.

I was roughly eight years old back then and the camera had no film in it.

Today, I still feel the same every time I pick one up. I still have that camera.
