About me

Hi! Photography and video have always been more than just work for me—they are ways to tell stories, capture details that often go unnoticed, and bring ideas to life. I specialize in studio product photography, lighting, commercial video, and fashion films, always looking for the perfect balance between technique and creativity.

Since 2009, I've been teaching at the IPF in Porto, where I've had the privilege of guiding and inspiring hundreds of students. Teaching has been just as rewarding as creating—it challenges me to constantly refine my approach and stay curious.

I take my work seriously, with a meticulous eye and a deep respect for the creative process. At the same time, I believe that creativity thrives in a positive and collaborative environment. I'm known for being approachable and bringing good energy to the teams I work with, making even the most challenging projects enjoyable.
I Live in Porto, Portugal.
