A Photographer

+ Creative Technologist

Born & Raised

in Porto and

working Worldwide.

I explore how places, people, and atmosphere shape one another.

[ Creating since 2015 ]

My work focuses on the quieter side of the world — the moments between presence and absence, motion and stillness.

I’m drawn to liminal spaces, environmental textures, and the subtle relationships between beings and their environments.

Alongside photography, I also work as a creative technologist, building digital experiences with the same attention to rhythm, form, and clarity that guides my visual work.

[ Photographer + Creative Technologist ]

[ Approach ]

Photography and creative technology sit side by side in my practice. Each informs the other: observation shapes how I build, and structure shapes how I see.

[ 01 — Observation ]

Paying attention to light, behavior, rhythm, and texture. The same awareness guides both my images and the systems I design.

[ 02 — Intention ]

Clear, deliberate decisions, in composition, in code, in form. Removing what’s unnecessary so the subject remains honest..

[ 03 — Connection ]

Exploring the subtle relationships between people, animals, and environments, and how technology can reflect or support those interactions.

[ Trusted & Featured By ]

I’ve worked with and been featured by teams and publications that value design, storytelling, and detail.
