About

I am a filmmaker and photographer with decades of experience across feature films, documentaries, and high-end campaigns. My focus is on Director of Photography work, aerial imagery, and immersive formats like 360 video, spanning from concept to delivery. I have led creative teams, built brands, and delivered under challenging conditions, including emergencies and conflicts.

Based in Portugal with global engagements, I enjoy collaborating with NGOs, broadcasters, and brands to tell human stories through image and motion. I also mentor, design workshops, and help teams adopt best practices in production, storytelling, and delivery, continuing to explore new tools and formats to push creative boundaries.
