Profile

I shoot commercial campaigns from a 4-person studio in Lisbon: 300+ productions over 12 years, for clients in 9 countries. Product, food, and architecture make up most of the work, with drone and large-format film for the jobs that need them. I still process my own 4x5 negatives, mostly because nobody else in the building will.
