Biography
Originally from Brazil, I studied Fine Art at London Metropolitan University. My photography work concentrates on interactions with people, focuses on simple ideas while exploring notions of identity and self esteem. My work has featured in a number of group and solo shows in the UK and abroad and has also been published in various magazines including The Sunday Times, The Independent, The Telegraph, Marie Claire and Colors. I have received various awards and grants for my work, among them the Ian Parry Award, Arts Council Grants for the Arts and an IPRN fellowship.
My work with Brazilian street girls has been published in a book – ‘Invisible Lives’ (Vision On, UK, 2000), and my work has been included in books on the history of Latin American and Brazilian photography amongst others.
I split my time between the UK and Brazil.
