Based out of Algés, Portugal.
Documenting every day life around me, hunting for unique moments to capture with my camera is part of who I am and at the same time the best type of therapy for myself.

Born in Lisbon in 1983, my life has always been framed by art. My early years were spent sketching, but it was the raw energy of the graffiti and hip-hop movements of the 90s and 2000s that truly shaped my visual language. For over a decade, I was immersed in that culture, learning to see the city not just as a backdrop, but as a living, breathing character.In 2006, a Fujifilm bridge camera changed everything. After years of mastering the technical side of the craft through commercial portraits and events, I realized my true passion wasn't in staged moments.Today, my work lives in the world of street photography and documentary. I focus on the "unseen" Lisbon capturing the honest, fleeting, and unscripted moments of everyday life with a photojournalistic soul.
