I've been covering issues related to human interests and social issues. I´m a realist professional, and I believe in straight forward pictures. My will is to mobilize public opinion through photography.While working towards my international relations degree, I became acutely aware of the distress in conflict zones. At University I produced a research on the importance of on site broadcasting and photographies of human conditions which motivated me to become a photographer. Furthermore, street photography, portraits, events, entertainment, travel and social photography are part of my work. My career started covering Music and Arts Festivals at Galeria Do Rock, and followed by an opportunity in a local newspaper in the same place I grew up. Since 2010 and to today my work has covered many stories, either working on assignments or as a freelancer for international news agencies or travelling around Brazilian territory with famous national country musicians.
