AUTHOR PHOTOGRAPHY

Conceptual and staged series, where photography approaches performance and painting. Abandoned spaces, symbolic objects, and visual narratives that challenge the eye and invite interpretation.

A conceptual photography series that combines detail, humor and imagination.
Human miniatures interact with the egg as if they were large work sets, transforming everyday life into visual poetry. A creative exercise that invites us to look at the banal in an extraordinary way.

Vegetables transformed into visual sculptures on an antique scale. A poetic metaphor for measure, weight, and the harmony of nature.

An artistic photo essay with subtle humor, which transforms a cat into a protagonist in the corporate world.

Ties, glasses and books take on new life here, in a dialogue between human seriousness and feline charm.

A visual journey inspired by classical painting and romantic literature.
Each portrait evokes the silence of memories, unsent letters and glances that span centuries.
Light and composition recreate the timeless atmosphere, where photography dialogues with painting.

A series that unites music, decay, and beauty. The violin becomes a voice amid the silence of the ancient walls, creating a contrast between fragility and eternity.

A series that captures the silent dance between two worlds, the sun and the moon, the day that departs and the night that awakens. The model stands in the center of the water as a mediator between opposites, reflecting herself in the liquid mirror. She is not just an illuminated body, but a symbol of balance: between the burning intensity of the sun and the immaculate serenity of the moon.

A collection of unique images, each one built as its own universe.
They are fragments of silence and intensity, where light shapes narratives and the eye discovers hidden meanings.
These are not just isolated photographs, but echoes of different stories, the sacred, the intimate, the ephemeral, which find space to breathe here.

A series of still lifes that recreate the timeless spirit of the Baroque, where each fruit, object or flame becomes a metaphor for life.

Between shadows and light, these images evoke simplicity, abundance and spirituality, inviting the gaze to silent contemplation.

Uma série de retratos a preto e branco que procura a essência intemporal do ser humano, onde cada rosto se torna metáfora da experiência e da memória.

Entre luz e sombra, estas imagens revelam silêncio, profundidade e verdade, convidando o olhar a uma contemplação íntima e sem ruído.
