Originally from Brazil, I came to the United States at a young age and I have lived most my life in Florida. Now I am currently based in West Palm Beach, Florida. I fell in love with the art of photography when I took my first film class. Shortly afterwards I decided that I wanted tp pursue a career in photography and share my work with others. In August of 2022 I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts at Florida Atlantic University.
The first camera I owned was a film camera and I found the experience of shooting and developing my own prints to be empowering. Starting out shooting film allowed me to challenge myself and I was able to view photography from a different perspective. I was fascinated by not having as much control over my subject matter, the only thing I could control was my point of view. I enjoy experimenting with many different areas of photography. My goal is for my images to form a connection with the viewers and allow them to view it from different perspectives. I think the beauty of photography is the amount of information that can be captured in just one shot.
Photography has allowed me to connect deeper with the world around me and notice the little things, and sometimes not know what I am shooting until I see the perfect moment. I enjoy when I start a body of work expecting one outcome and then it goes a different direction, but the result is exactly what I was trying to achieve. I believe that it is all part of photography and just being able to keep experimenting and building creates stronger work.
