I like to get my hands dirty.

Started out in film, worked in some blockbusters, rolled many meters of cables, was a camera operator and filmed lots of horses, moved to the other side of the world, went to film school, accidentally became a teacher.

Travelled around Australia shooting documentaries, cooking shows, music videos, photographed products and people, TVCs.

Designed terrible artworks, travelled more, climbed an active volcano, published a book, ride a scooter for fun, have my stints at long-form photo documentaries, was awarded photojournalism awards, love to take photos of strangers in the street and ended up in advertising and being a corgi whisperer.

What a ride, life is strange and beautiful!
 
I am now the Head of Creative at the Montu Group, the leading medical cannabis ecosystem in Australia. This includes leading the creative team for two of our largest brands, Alternealeaf and Montu.

I have created content that generated millions of online interactions and conversations for brands such as Woolworths, Petbarn, Stockland, Amnesty International, Discovery Channel, Eurosport, Hungry Jacks, ABC, and more. 

In my parallel life, I direct music videos and developed short and long terms documentary photography projects that search for social purposes, leading me to work with NGO's and exhibit social documentary projects around the globe. My work has been screened, exhibited and awarded in different countries and has been recognised as one of Australia's emerging talents in photojournalism.
 

Another one of my passions is sharing my knowledge with others, I was a cinematography teacher at Sydney Film School for 8 years.
 

On top of that, I am a social media manager for Boy and Bae, the sassy corgis.
 

This all started when I graduated in Sound and Image with a Bachelor of Honours at the University of Arts and Design, ESAD.CR (Portugal, 2008), and a Diploma of Screen and Media at Sydney Film School (Australia, 2010), specialising in cinematography, adding later a range of other specialisations, including Photojournalism with the Australian Centre for Photography.

Let's get it!
