Graduated in photography and Industrial Design, he began his career in the mid-2000s as an executive producer of commercial, editorial, and cultural photographic projects. He lived for a period in New York, where he worked as an art director, and upon returning to São Paulo he opened his own studio working as a photographer for agencies and direct clients. In 2010, he created FOTOSPOT, a pioneering gallery in Brazil in democratizing access to photography and fostered interest in national photographic production by offering works on an online platform.
As an author, he has published seven photo books, many of them internationally awarded and launched in Paris, New York, and São Paulo. In an expository format, his work has been presented at several photography festivals around the world, in countries such as France, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, Argentina and Singapore.
He also acts as editorial coordinator for third parties and has more than 30 titles produced in this format, including the book commemorating the 50th anniversary of the company EMBRAER. At the beginning of the pandemic Covid-19 created ‘Quarentena Books’ project, where 8 photographers and 8 designers created books remotely during the quarantine, and whose profits were donated to the most exposed communities.
Utopia series:
The concepts of speed and distance have been distorted by my generation. Inebriated by the internet, we have passionately embraced the dematerialization of practically everything: products, services, information, even photography. Now a photograph travels instantly, transformed into data and pixels, and crossing distances we could not have imagined in the past.
Exploring this premise and taking a deep dive into an affective geography, these are my reflections on the emotions that the places and spaces we live in awaken within us. The photographs presented on these pages depict locations that are intangible while they are simultaneously anchored in precise georeferencing coordinates, in an attempt to capture both physical and virtual distances. In this sense, they are images that seek to go beyond representations of real or fictional cities. I am especially interested in symbolic spaces, which highlight the importance of personal experiences, memories, history, and the mechanisms that reveal emotional ties between individuals and their environment.
Hopefully this series will not just witness this era of dematerialization, but also serve as a catalyst for new journeys.
