ACT FOR PEACE

Why do I want to work with Act for Peace?

 

I am passionate about all types of creative collaborations, as long as they involve emotional experiences.

 

I want to confront the issues that arise in our societies, believing we can make a change through audiovisual art, all this adding to my motivation for traveling, helping people around me and discover other amazing human beings around the world. I have extensive experience in the field of videography and photography, including working in the not for profit sector, in different countries. My experience includes being self-sufficient on the field in a variety of different realities, making the best out of available resources, looking for stories with extreme attention to detail.

 

Working with Act For Peace would be a great step in my journey, where I can keep learning but also I truly believe I can give a valuable contribute to the work your organisation develops, joining a great group of people that share my passion for helping people and confronting injustice. 

 

Profile

I am a Photographer and Cinematographer, originally from Portugal and based in Sydney, looking for adventures in all parts of the world. When creating, my roots are always with me, our personal experiences shape who we are and reflect in everything we create. 

 

I was born in Portugal where I grew up and was raised under a Christian education and values, which gave me a solid basis to be a person I am today and to achieve my goals in life.

  • Diploma of Screen and Media  (specialised in Cinematography) at Sydney Film School

  • Cert IV in Training and Assessment

 

Experience

Throughout  the years I developed experience in the most varied fields, being involved in a variety of projects, from motion picture feature films to documentaries, NGO photography, music videos, TV series and art installations.
