Born and raised in south of Portugal, I turned to photography as a medium to express and capture the world around me.

In my early days as a journalist, I did an internship an Diários de Notícias, covering international affairs and politics. Dealing with photography from international news agencies shifted my focus to the power of images and soon enough I was buying my first camera.

I’ve been a frequent contributor to Time Out Lisbon magazine since 2018, and also inflight magazine as Hemisphere’s and UP magazine (TAP). Recently I’ve become a contributor to portuguese newspaper Público covering the southern region of Portugal.
