ABOUT ME
If something good happens, travel to celebrate
If something bad happens, travel to forget
If nothing happens, travel to make it happen.
​
This encapsulates the essence of travel, a philosophy I embraced from a tender age of 3 when I ventured into Africa, igniting my lifelong quest for exploration. At 4, Portugal welcomed me, and by 12, Rome beckoned with its abundant art, fueling my passion for journalistic photography. I chased adrenaline amidst strikes and demonstrations, capturing images that satisfied editors and my own soul, earning a few "liras" for a pizza. Alongside, I delved into commercial events, weddings, and private parties, expanding my photographic repertoire.
​
At 18, I embarked on a journey across the Americas—Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, and the USA—immersing myself deeper into the art and joy of photography
At 29, Europe called me back, with Spain as my anchor. From France to Tanzania, and a myriad of countries in between, I continued to explore, always accompanied by my trusted Canon, smartphone, and the newest addition, a Mavic Pro drone. Each journey unveiled the essence of local life, shunning stereotypes and capturing fleeting moments of inspiration in frozen frames of light..

Yet, there's still so much left to do, to travel, to learn...
