Coming from a family with a strong tradition of Photography and Photojournalism, it was not surprising that from an early age he took this path professionally. In addition to constant training with the “best teachers in his life” at home, he studied at the Portuguese Institute of Photography in Porto. He divides his time between documentary photojournalism and news, and since 2011 he has focused on long-term projects and documentary photojournalism in Europe, developing themes related to the human condition, but not exclusively.
