GREECE

Photography is how I think. Ideas start as images long before they become concepts.

Travel sharpens the way I look, slowing me down, bringing me closer to people, places, and their rhythms. I’m drawn to honest moments: light, texture, gestures, and what happens in between. It’s how I observe, remember, and make sense of the world.

WHEN THINGS TURN PINK

A summer in Greece. Six friends, three nationalities, all connected through Brazil. Living in four different countries, meeting again on a sailboat in blue water, picking up a friendship exactly where it left off.

As always, I brought my camera and shot on 35mm film. When I developed the roll back home, I was surprised to see everything washed in deep pink. An unplanned shift in tone. The result of expired film, likely a roll I once picked up in a small shop in Egypt.

What could have felt like a flaw became something else entirely. The images took on a different energy, warmer, softer, almost unreal. I converted a few frames to grayscale to create balance, but kept the pink in others. It felt right to let the accident speak.

I love the grain, the flow, the imperfection. Proof that sometimes the image knows more than the plan.
