My Story

I have always been passionate about illustrated art, and I hold a degree in Cinema from Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia. After working in the fashion industry for a few years, I decided to follow my true calling: showcasing nature's raw beauty. Since then, I have been documenting the most incredible animals around the globe. It has been an honor to capture and share these extraordinary moments in the wilderness.

As a Brazilian, my primary focus has been on the jaguars of the Pantanal. After experiencing the thrill of capturing these majestic animals in their natural habitat, I decided to become a certified guide, specializing in photographic safaris and private tours.

What is it like to join me on a safari?

The first time I went to the Pantanal, it changed my life, and that’s the experience I want to share with my guests. I aim to teach everything I know about photography, animal behavior, and any other shared interests we may have. I believe that when we do something with passion, it resonates with those around us. You come as a guest, but you leave as a friend.
