Please, tell us about yourself, your hobbies and your other passions.
Right now my passions are all mainly connected to imaging. I breed photography and images and I'm living my job in a way that makes me thing in images/photography every time, everywhere.
I'm a big fan of arts in general, so I'm always interested in things connected to arts, mainly bidimensional images like photography, painting, drawing, etc.
Apart from this world I'm a big fan of basketball, I'm not playing anymore but I follow the NBA.
Then, I'm not musician and I don't have acknowledged in that area, but music makes a big part of my days of work.
How your story and life experiences affect your
photography?
I started my life not in photography but in arts. I used to draw a lot and the connection to arts helped me a lot to see the world in a different way and that's really important when you want to create something in photography or in other areas of art.
I believe every different experiences affect our own way to see the world and the fact of starting with a big connection to arts helped me a lot in photography.
What are your most important experiences that influenced your art?
In the university I choosed arts too and I finished the Decorative Arts degree.
Basicaly this was a course of design and decoration and that approach to this world was interesting because in the course I needed to create the projects to construct an object and then construct the object manually with different materials. So, working in many different materials was a great experience for me, because in the production part of photography, sometimes we need to construct some objects to help an image creation.
What attracted you to photography?
What I really like in photographic it's the freedom to create with any limitations. I love to use the technology available today and work with powerful ideas. My type of work is more conceptual and the firsts steps of thinking in a idea/concept are so important and I like that type of process.
I like challenges and create something from the beginning it's a big challenge.
