Photography came from home

My father always loved photography. He recorded our family events, had the photos printed and put together albums so we could relive and share those moments. I grew up seeing a printed photo as something to keep, show and pass on. I got my first camera as a child.

I was born in Ipatinga, Minas Gerais, and I am a petroleum engineer from the Federal University of Espírito Santo, with an exchange year at Montana Tech of the University of Montana, in the United States.

Montana

It was during that exchange that photography became a path. Just before a trip to Yellowstone, I bought my first professional camera, a Nikon D3300. In Missoula I took courses in camera operation and winter photography, and my eye took shape among snow, mountains and cold light.

Belo Horizonte

Back in Brazil, in Belo Horizonte, I joined the Fotohorizontinos collective, now called Errantes. It was a period of a lot of street and long-exposure photography that kept me moving and made me grow as a photographer.

Method and rigor

Before devoting myself to my work, I spent five years in consulting, as a trainee and consultant at KPMG and at Instituto Áquila de Gestão. From that path I carry the method and rigor I now apply to every piece, from choosing the image to the paper and the frame.

In 2020, during the pandemic, I produced my first framed print. Since then, these works have been the center of what I do.

Today

My eye is documentary. I photograph the architecture of Brazilian cities, nature and places around the world, looking to capture what is essential about each place.

In 2025 I took part in Casa Cor, Brazil's leading design and interiors show. My work is at Expoarte Galeria in Brasília, and my prints have been shown in stores, art galleries and cafés, as well as in clients' homes and offices.

I am passionate about photography and about frames. What I love most is seeing an image take physical form, on canvas, in books and publications, and become part of someone's life.

Before you choose

Printing

Every photograph is printed to order. I work with three surfaces, and each one calls for a type of frame.

01Matte Fine Art Paper

Fine-grain matte paper. No glare, rich in detail and made to last for many years.

→ Box frame with glass
02100% Cotton Paper

A deeper, more pronounced texture. The museum standard for conservation.

→ Box frame with glass
03100% Cotton Canvas

Canvas stretched on a frame, with visible weave. No glass needed.

→ Floating frame
How I recommend framing

Frames
