I'm a Los Angeles-based portrait and documentary photographer with roots in the animation industry. After spending years creating digital worlds at Pixar and Disney, I decided to capture the real one through my lens.

My journey began in digital lighting and cinematography, where I learned how light can transform a scene and tell a story without words. Today, I bring that cinematic vision to every portrait session, creating images that feel both intimate and larger than life.

When I'm not behind the camera, you might find me exploring LA's diverse neighborhoods, searching for the perfect coffee, or about creativity and consciousness on my Substack. My Portuguese heritage influences my perspective, giving me an appreciation for rich cultural narratives and authentic human connections.

I believe photography is about more than just creating beautiful images. It's about recognizing the extraordinary in everyday moments and preserving them. Whether I'm photographing a corporate executive, an aspiring actor, or a family celebrating a milestone, I approach each session with the same curiosity and dedication to authentic storytelling.

My work has been featured in different blogs, magazines, and news media, but my greatest achievement is the trust my clients place in me to capture their most genuine selves.

Let's create something meaningful together.
