MADE IN BRAZIL, established in the USA. A camera loaded with film and a guest bathroom transformed into a dark room were all I needed growing up. The nature surrounding the city, the mystery of the ocean, and the sovereignty of the mountains became my escape from the hectic life in Rio de Janeiro.

​

From early on my lens searched for the beauty and spirit of people and nature. Photojournalism assignments challenged me to create a language in visual storytelling, which felt more natural to me than writing.

 

My love for horses led me to a years-long project tracking and photographing American mustangs throughout the West. In the heart of the American wilderness, I found my muse. Spending countless hours with wild horses, observing their dynamics and behavior, revealed to me a (hidden) world that most people don’t realize exists.

 

I believe that there is a strong connection between the American wild horses and the American identity. As I travel the untamed landscapes of the West, capturing the grace and beauty of the mustangs as a wild horse photographer, my aim is to create artwork and tell the stories that evoke that connection. 

 

To this end, there is a sense of both the real and the mythological in my images. Visual narratives through which people can see the wild horses in a different way - and may actually see themselves more clearly in the process.
