"I have been a photographer for more than 20 years. The most important thing for me today is the same as the very first day: my love of photography.

I work for different advertising agencies, magazines and brands, including National Geographic Magazine, Green Peace, Fuji Film, La Vanguardia, Prisa, Vogue, Elle, Descubrir, XL Semanal, Thomas Cook Travel, Best Fashion Magazine, Elle, Harper's Bazaar and others.

I have travelled taking pictures in more than 30 countries throughout Asia, America, Africa and Europe. I love travelling and working with new people and production teams. Lifestyle photography is one of my favourites. I love directing people to make a real scene, always thinking about the concept that wants to capture the customer.

I think I am a very complete photographer who is able to work in any conditions. I have done assignments in studios, outdoors, under the sea and in the sky. I like to think I am a 4x4!"
