I was born and raised in Lisbon, Portugal. I love family and friends, and I feel fortunate for every second we get to spend together. I am absurdly fond of life, and everything that comes with it. I cherish the land I walk on and the sky above me. I try to reflect my love for people and life in all the moments that I luckily grab with my camera, and that I feel are worth remembering. Commonly, I am not looking for perfection, instead, I try to obtain real moments that, if isolated, can inflict emotions, but when put together can create a story. I happily lived in my hometown for the first 32 years of my life. I got to live a beautiful life between the city and the countryside, in Vila-Viçosa, a small village located in Alentejo Central. However, in 2011 I took the hard decision of moving to London, in the United Kingdom. It was home for almost 8 years. I met my partner, we fell in love, and started a family. We have a 3-year-old son, and we are now living in Brisbane, in the state of Queensland, Australia. I found in photography the joy and accomplishment of a true self in this living world. I love capturing moments that make sense to me, and that hopefully might make sense to someone else. A photograph, a moment, a story. This is my way to see the world, and a tool that I utilise to freeze moments. This is my way to meet people, places and collect images of anything out there that catches my attention.
