About me
Discover my photographic universe, my passion and my equipment.
Biography
Of Portuguese origin and settled in Geneva since my childhood, I have been passionate about photography for more than ten years. This passion was born following a serious illness, an ordeal that taught me to look at life differently and to cultivate positivism. The camera then became a way to transform every moment into strength, every encounter into inspiration.
Languages spoken: French, English and Portuguese - which allows me to share my photographic passion with an international audience and create authentic connections during my travels and encounters.
My work revolves around nature, animals and human beings, always seeking to capture their essence and the energy that flows through them. More than a simple image, each shot tells a story of connection, fragility and raw beauty.
My approach is part of an Art'ivism vision: using art to awaken consciousness, invite contemplation and remind us of the need to preserve what surrounds us. I favor authenticity and spontaneous moments where life reveals itself in all its sincerity.
Through my photographs, I hope to transmit a message of hope, wonder and respect towards the living world, and invite everyone to rediscover this essential relationship with nature and others.
