Lofoten and Northern Norway, on foot and from the air. Long treks, wild camping and the light of the Arctic summer.

Faces, gestures and light: from a quiet moment at home and the streets of Paraty to Istanbul and New York.

About

Many roles, one story.

I'm a Brazilian-Italian photographer and documentary filmmaker based in Copenhagen. To me, life is a stage, and we play different roles at different times. I've been a commercial diver, a chauffeur in London, a cook, a tour leader across Portugal and Spain, and I've built and run my own companies. Every role taught me something, and all of them led here: telling stories about remote places and ordinary people, on foot, with a tent and a drone.

I handle photo, video and editing from start to finish, and I feel at home in the cold and in the field. Open to expedition, guiding and seasonal work.
