ABOUT ME

Born and raised in a seaside small city in Brazil. I used to go surfing with my brother and friends, and when I finished high school I moved to Sao Paulo to go to college.

Photography is a passion for me (and the beach as well)! Love taking pictures on the beach, underwater, with friends, at parties...and with lomo cameras, wich I'm a fan!!! =)
The way I see things:

I feel good when in the nature: camping, surfing, snowboarding, playing on the grass or on the sand, feeling the breeze of the ocean, admiring the sunrise, sunset or the moon. And it's when I realize (and I like doing that) how small and insignificant we are for the earth, for the universe.

Now that I'm done with College, I felt it was time to travel and give me the chance to get to meet new people with good souls, ideas, projects, and exercise more my body and mind! I'm going to Lake Tahoe to work during this next winter seaosn, and mainly to snowboard!
