Hey! This is me!


Born in Portugal and currently living in Lisbon.

Obsessed with natural light and with a very unhealthy habit of seeing the world as photogenic or not.

Feel at home in complete chaotic places or in complete silence. 

Proud cat mom. 


I first graduated in fashion design only to find out that my real passion was photography. So why not merge them?

Since then I've lived in London for a few years working as a retoucher and later moved back to Lisbon where I work my ass off with a camera in my hands.

For the past 5 years I've been obsessing over handprinting film photography and built my own little lab where I print my analogue work, in complete darkness while listening to music.



Throughout my years as a photographer I've been lucky enough to collaborate with some cool brands and publications:
