I was born in Brazil and moved to Portugal at a very young age, an experience that shaped the way I observe the world. Growing up between places taught me to pay attention, to notice what often goes unseen.

I work with photography as a way of staying close to everyday life. I’m drawn to quiet moments, small gestures, and spaces in between. Much of my work happens around film sets, where I photograph without directing, allowing moments to unfold naturally.

Moving between languages and cultures has given my work a rhythm of its own. Rather than explaining, I’m interested in observing, being present long enough for something honest to reveal itself.
