The Authors
I'm an independent journalist and editor based in São Paulo, Brazil. A journalist since 1997, I have worked independently since 2016 - focusing mainly on human rights, social issues, science, and health. I've been working on the project granted by Ford Foundation / Brazil Fund for Human Rights since 2017.
“In my photography, I try to reach my inner drawers in their most secret emotions, a true kaleidoscope of feelings inherent to viewing and to living. The pleasure of telling stories by means of images is the great motivation of my life.”
