...my passion for photography sprouted in the streets of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The more I photographed, the more I understood, not only the power of photography, but the importance of being present...
From then on, I never stopped... I photograph everything that catches my attention...
on the following pages a little bit of everything...
Hope you like it.
