ROLE
DIRECTOR
BASED
São Paulo · New York

Director, photographer and builder. I learned how to wait in a darkroom, knowing when to stay in the room before the image is ready. The interesting part was never the title. I co-founded Matter + Energy and built Magma. Selected work for Anitta, Motorola, Dove, Vogue Brasil, Ladytron, Tresemmé, Spotify, Suave.

2025 · Photographer · Documentary

# A campaign to fund eleven people, eight athletes and three coaches, raised inside Breno Macedo's social boxing project in Rio Claro, to compete in Italy. Sport teaches rhythm, consequence, community. Real weight in a world too weightless.

The gym in Rio Claro carries the smell of time, sweated canvas, worn iron. Kids cut through the light like swallows, too fast for a single frame.
