Made in Brazil, established in the USA. A camera loaded with film and a guest bathroom transformed into a dark room were all I needed growing up. The nature surrounding the city, the mystery of the ocean, and the sovereignty of the mountains became my escape from the hectic life of Rio de Janeiro.

 

From early on my lens searched for the beauty, emotion, and spirit of people and nature. Photojournalism assignments challenged me to create a language in visual story telling, which felt more natural to me than writing.

 

My love for horses led me to a years-long project tracking and photographing American mustangs throughout the West. In the heart of the American wilderness, I found my muse. Spending countless hours with wild mustangs, observing their dynamics and behavior, revealed to me a hidden world that most people don’t realize exists.

 

I am compelled to use my skill as a photographer to share with you what I have seen and to bring awareness to the issues faced by the American wild horses - the ever present threat to their safety and freedom.

 

Wild horse fine art photography has become for me a means of storytelling, advocacy, and preservation. As I travel the untamed landscapes of the American West, capturing the grace and beauty of wild mustangs, I hope to instill in others the same sense of wonder and respect for these magnificent creatures and the beautiful creation all around us.

 

Each person views a photograph from their own unique perspective and emotions, triggered by our own life experiences. My hope is that my work will invite you to wonder, imagine, dream and smile... That you will be inspired to get out and experience the beauty that is the American Wild.
