Why I photograph while travelling
From promoting other people's experiences to designing my own: how tourism and the camera connect.

I worked in reservations and operations at Ecocentro Danaus, in adventure photography at Vandará and in content creation for tourism experiences at Tribu Travels. I spent years promoting and telling other people's experiences, and at some point I understood that was exactly what I wanted to build for myself.
That's why trips and photography go together for me now. I design the itinerary thinking about how each stage will look and feel, and I photograph so that what you take home comes close to what it feels like to be there.
What I most want to show is something you learn by travelling: what's normal in one country may not be in another. That difference is what's worth photographing.
