I was born in Minas Gerais, southeast Brazil. Growing up on a small farm town, I was always in contact with nature. Since I was a kid, I've always been fascinated with birds, their colors, songs and the huge variety of species, from large birds of prey to the smallest hummingbirds. I had to find a way to share with others the beauty of our birds.
Photography was the perfect means to accomplish my goal.
I've learned a lot about nature photography by attending seminars, workshops, and reading educational books written by professional nature photographers.
Today I live in Fort Myers, Florida. A premier area in the nation for bird photography, that allow me to continue educating myself, and improve my skills in the art of nature photography.
