About Me

The Person Behind the
camera

Photography became part of my life long before I ever imagined it would become my profession. It first taught me how to observe. Then it taught me that the moments that matter most never happen twice.

A photograph does not capture what happened. It captures how we felt in that moment.

Based in Lisbon, I work in weddings, portrait photography and editorial projects across Portugal and abroad. My style is documentary, discreet and observant.

When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me in my photo lab. It's where I slow things down, developing film and creating handcrafted prints with the same care and attention I bring to every photograph I make.

I believe the most meaningful photographs aren't created by directing people. They're created by giving them the freedom to be themselves

The Equipment I Use

Hasselblad médio formato

Hasselblad 500C/M

A camera that encourages patience. Every frame is carefully considered, making each photograph more intentional and meaningful.

Quiet and almost invisible. The perfect companion for capturing genuine moments without disturbing them.

Digital System

Modern technology allows me to work efficiently while preserving the authenticity, quality and emotion of every image.

"I'm not interested in photographing moments alone. I'm interested in the people who give those moments meaning. That's where photographs that truly last begin."
