I was born in 1994 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, where I’ve studied graphic design and now I run my own design studio. I bought my first camera in 2014, by the time I was still in college and had the assignment to create a photographic series about the city’s architecture. Although the results of this first experience were not great, it awoke in me a passion for photography and I have not stopped ever since. Whenever I go out I always try to bring my camera with me, shooting influenced by some classics like Alex Webb, David Alan Harvey, Bruce Gilden, Sebastião Salgado, Fan Ho, and others.

About The Collection

“What lays in the shadows” is a series that reunites some photos characterized by the main features of most of my work: people surrounded by shadows, or even creating their own shadows, becoming thus these unrevealed attributes of my photos. The shots were taken between 2017 and 2020 in Belo Horizonte, New York, São Paulo, Arraial do Cabo, and Curitiba’s cities. And all of them work with the daylight as a blinding property of the shots
