I'm a 34-year-old self-taught photographer, born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, and I document life in Brazil. I work independently for national and international media. The personal documentation I do is about the socio-environmental issue: such as Vale's crime in Mariana and Brumadinho, illegal gold mining in the Amazon, the culture of the Kayapó Menkragnoti people and the difficult struggle of the Kaiowá and Guarani for their lands in Mato Grosso do Sul. And my published work — for medias such as Reuters Agency, Bloomberg News and the UOL — generally involves factual coverage of what happens in Rio de Janeiro. I have been a freelancer for the Reuters since 2013 and, since 2019, I have worked as a consultant for the Kabu Institute (a non-profit organization of the Kayapó Menkragnoti indigenous people) giving audiovisual training workshops to young people in the villages.
