Born from a fusion of Brazilian and English heritage, I am a photographer residing in The Hague, Netherlands. My journey into the world of photography and storytelling didn't follow the traditional path. It was the result of my relentless curiosity and a deep-rooted desire to explore the world around me
.Traveling has been a great teacher, providing me with a canvas to practice my art and refine my skills. As I ventured into uncharted territories, the diversity of nature, the hidden gems of cities, and the unique stories I encountered fueled my passion for photography, printing and writing. Each exploration became a chapter of an unfolding story, waiting to be captured through my lens.
Photography, for me, is not just about taking pictures. It's about capturing the soul of off-the-beaten-path locations, nature, cities, and showcasing the diversity of places and people, and translating images to print and stories.
My work is a collection, each image is a tale of an adventure, a place, or a person that has enriched my life and shaped my perspective. I invite you to join me on my journey, to explore the world through my lens, and to discover the beauty in the everyday photography.
Alternative Spots was born from a distinct, fusion of photography and storytelling that stemmed from curiosity and travel experiences. These experiences were then collated and curated into a single platform, before being transformed into storytelling and tangible, physical prints
.Each print, each photograph, and each story is laden with unique meanings, personal sentiments, and a rich background story that provides context to the reader.
Alternative Spots is more than just a platform for sharing photographs, it is a shared passion for storytelling through photography, and turning these stories into physical prints that can be held, admired, and cherished.
