About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy the moment.

ABOUT ME

I have a major in psychology and a masters degree in applied behavior analysis and education. I'm brazilian but I have been living abroad for a few years now - first New York City, then England and now working as a photographer in cruise ships.

I have a big interest in storytelling, cinema, photography, and art in general. I tend to favor the surreal.

I enjoy listening to electronic music (I'm into minimal, dubstep, old school psy trance and others), jazz and indie.

I like thrills (particularly the feeling of freefall) and I have an obsession with bridges. I recently went to visit the world's only tilting bridge in Gateshead, UK. Some of my favorite bridges include the JK bridge in Brasilia and the Tower Bridge in London.

PHILOSOPHY

Pragmatic.
