My path to photography was anything but conventional. Unlike those who discovered their passions early, my journey was marked by twists and turns. After high school, I pursued civil engineering, earning my bachelor’s degree and continuing to complete a graduate degree in advertising and marketing, followed by an MBA. For 17 years, I thrived as a marketing executive, working in industries ranging from insurance and energy to consulting, finance, and education.

Photography was a side interest for years, nurtured through short courses and casual practice. But a life-changing car accident reshaped my priorities and pushed me to embrace my true passion. Four years later, I embarked on a new chapter, relocating with my wife and our dog to Vancouver to study full-time at the Vancouver Institute of Media Arts (VanArts). I graduated as the top student in my class and have been committed to capturing the essence of stories and emotions through my lens ever since.

Now based in Lisbon, I bring my unique blend of personal and professional experiences into every shot. When not behind the camera, you’ll find me exploring new destinations, savoring a quiet walk with my wife, diving into a good book, or enjoying a movie.
