About

I’ve spent most of my adult life paying attention to how things feel when they are left alone long enough. Light entering a room without interruption. A gesture that says more than it intends to. The quiet weight of time passing, not loudly, but steadily. Photography, for me, has never been about capture in the aggressive sense. It has been about noticing what is already there, and deciding when not to interfere.

I’m a photographer and writer based in Portugal, working across still images, long-form personal writing, and a small number of selective collaborations. My work lives at the intersection of observation and restraint. I’m less interested in spectacle than in presence. Less in moments manufactured for attention than in those that reveal themselves when patience is allowed to do its work.

Over the years, photography and writing have begun to inform one another in ways I didn’t plan. Writing slowed my seeing. Photography sharpened my listening. Both became tools for understanding—not just the world in front of me, but the distance between what is shown and what is felt. I approach my work with the same mindset I bring to my life: attentive, deliberate, and aware that clarity often arrives late, if at all.

Fatherhood changed the tempo of everything. It introduced a new relationship with time—one that is less negotiable and more honest. It stripped away the idea of urgency for urgency’s sake. That shift quietly reshaped how I work. I photograph with more intention, write with fewer conclusions, and leave more space for ambiguity. Not everything needs resolution. Some things only need to be held carefully.

I don’t work toward accumulation—of projects, recognition, or noise. I work toward coherence. Whether photographing people, spaces, or objects, the aim is the same: to create images that feel settled, that don’t rush the viewer, that allow meaning to surface rather than insist on it. The same principle guides my writing, particularly in The Little I Know, where reflection is treated as an ongoing practice rather than a destination.

This website exists as a meeting point. A place where images and words coexist without competing. Where professional work is informed by lived experience, and personal work remains grounded in craft. I’m here, working quietly, open to thoughtful collaborations, conversations, and projects that value time, care, and attention. Nothing more than that—and nothing less.
