AUTHOR
Born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, I consider myself an artist first, and a photographer second. So I like to think that when I’m shooting, I’m also making art. Studying Advertising & Marketing, in my hometown, taught me the basics, but it was really when I moved to Los Angeles, in 1992, that I got to experience firsthand the complexities of the industry I came to love.
