I am highly regarded in the architectural and aerial photography space, known for my fresh aesthetic and reliable delivery of projects. With my unique brand of high-quality creativity, leading-edge technical knowledge, inexhaustible resourcefulness, and energetic enthusiasm, I understand the importance of a great brief and enjoy the collaborative process with my clients to establish the right direction for the diverse range of projects I work on.
My formidable pedigree is drawn from the discipline and rigour I learned at home. My father is one of Brazil’s best-loved and most widely praised aerial and industrial photographers, while my mother is a well-established architect. Growing up surrounded by prints and plans, I was drawn into familial conversations about form, function, beauty, and utility from a young age. Assisting my father throughout my teenage years, I ultimately developed an appetite for shooting architecture and interiors, a passion that drew me to explore the world’s most exciting urban playgrounds and relocate to London, where I enjoy full-time residency.
Shortly after my arrival in London, I was snapped up by a prestigious property marketing design studio, where I honed my techniques and workflow as an in-house photographer. The experience provided an insider’s view into working with brand-led design teams, instilling the awareness that my imagery played a pivotal role within the bigger picture and defined the need for my work to complement the overall story. I quickly became instrumental in cementing photography as one of the key USPs in the studio, consistently and effectively delivering projects to extremely tight deadlines.
Since going freelance in 2012, I have furthered my mission to honor the extraordinary through my work. I reveal the sublime achievements of those who conceive and create ambitious works of art, the architects and artisans who together manifest great structures of steel, stone, and glass. I am a tireless perfectionist who drives every aspect of my approach, involving exhaustive homework, multiple site visits to see how the changing light interplays with the space, and a willing resourcefulness to climb, explore, and find new angles that others overlook.
Combining my knowledge of physical light with an obsessive understanding of the tools of my trade, I quickly assess the parameters of the shoot and capture the required shots with perfect timing. Trained in the strict analogue tradition of film, I hold myself to exacting standards at the outset of each project. This means reading the space properly, finding the composition while in situ, and using only the most minor post-production techniques later.
My incredibly crisp and powerful signature style has caught the eye of businesses and brands who trade on the same kind of premise: that details matter, whether in commercial or residential markets. Mine is a kind of proud perfection that captures the essence of a breathtaking structure and translates it into an image. I have photographed a multitude of iconic structures, including Madame Tussauds, the Barbican, and La Défense in Paris, but can just as easily train my eye on more intimate projects.
Notable clients include Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, Aberdeen Standard, Candy & Candy, Maybourne Hotel Group, Sutton Young, BNP Paribas Real Estate, Bedford Estates, and Prestbury Investment Holdings. My work has been featured in publications such as Digital SLR Magazine, Photography Monthly Magazine, Professional Photographer Magazine, London Property Magazine, Digital Photographer Magazine, and Fotografe Melhor Magazine.
In addition to my commercial work, I keep myself busy with a multitude of personal photography projects and parallel businesses, such as my personal image bank, the London Stock Photos and my fine art printing studio, the Image Print Centre. When I’m not behind the lens, you'll find me enjoying every spare minute with my two beautiful daughters, playing and teaching them how to become great human beings.
