I've always believed that what defines a photographer isn't technique, but rather a constant attentive gaze, ready for all kinds of situations. Especially those that are trivial, e…

I'm back with a new DIY project, and this time it's another piece of furniture I found on the street. I had just stepped out for a few minutes around my neighborhood when I came ac…

During my brief time in Ouro Preto, I had one day to visit some of the waterfalls in the region — and I say *some* because I don't think I've ever seen a place with so many waterfa…

This past weekend we had a four-day holiday here in Brazil, and I traveled for the first time to the city of Ouro Preto, in Minas Gerais. I want to share a little about this experi…

Recently, I came across these photos from a trip I took to Garaú Beach, in Peruíbe, a few years ago. I find them beautiful, inspiring, and maybe even a little poetic. I was truly …

I took these photos during the Carnival holiday, a few months ago, on my trip to Serra Fina, in the Serra da Mantiqueira mountain range. They were taken specifically at Poço Esmera…

As I mentioned in my last post here in the community, I recently visited and rediscovered the town of Monte Alegre do Sul, which is about an hour away from where I live. Even thoug…

Hi, the content I'm bringing today is about a new painting I did in the backyard of my house. I made it recently in May and I’m super excited to show it here to you. I have these …

The photos I’m sharing today for my participation in the #Monomad contest were taken back in 2016. They are portraits I created in my old home, and until now, I had never seen them…

I just found these photos in my archives and, for the first time, decided to edit them in black and white. They gave me a completely different feeling compared to when I originally…

Today I bring another post about renovation, and this time it's about the makeover of this vintage piece of furniture, a glass hutch that holds a huge emotional value for me. Actu…

These images were made in 2013, and I think they mark my first flirtation with a more conceptual and perhaps even dark approach to photography. Melancholy, I realize now, has alw…

I took these photos accidentally last weekend, and I say accidentally because I wasn’t planning to photograph this scene at all. In fact, I didn’t even have a camera or my own pho…

This was my second time visiting the town of Monte Alegre do Sul, a tiny little town with around 8,000 inhabitants, located in the same region where I live, about an hour away from…

I took these photos in February of this year during a trip to the Serra da Mantiqueira, specifically in a section known as Serra Fina. The photos were taken in the municipalities o…

This week I ended up revisiting the images from this photo shoot as I prepared to mint them as NFTs for an event happening on the Objkt platform. I have been participating in ever…

Something I always try to bring into my photos is intention, even if that intention isn't immediately visible and might never be fully understood by the viewer. Sometimes it's almo…

Female portraits always move me, because I see so much in every gaze, in every woman portrayed. I see layers. Endless submerged layers. These were taken in 2013, in an abandoned ho…

It's been quite a while since I last shared a DIY project here because life has been really hectic and I haven't had much time to work on these projects and put my ideas into pract…

Photographing animals has always come naturally to me. Since I was a child, I’ve been photographing my own animals, as a way of documenting, remembering. As an adult, I started ph…
