Fine Art Photography
Photography came into my life when I was studying at university, and the passion for the whole analog and laboratory process fascinated me from the first school class.
Fine Art and documentary photography has always fascinated me and was where I developed most of the work. Experimenting with black and white film always looking to develop self expression.
More than 15 years passed and the art of photography was on stand by while I study developed other artistic aspects of my expression. In 2019 the interest returned when i revisited the old films, the analog cameras and the old photos that developed in the school laboratory.
Today I am rediscovering photography through the digital world but replicating the traditional process as much as possible, always looking to explore the Fine Art and Self Expression Photography.
About
What can i say, beside of the blá, blá, blá ego stuff, im a visual artist who shares the love for Fine Art Photography, illustration and tattoo, working professionally since 2009.
My biggest professional intention is to provide the best and unique art that i can produce and deliver to satisfy my client needs with my services by designing illustrations, painting, photographing or tattooing something exclusive for them to wear on their skins.
Always looking for perfection and fine results through different art products & services.
I can’t consider me just as a tattooer, i love to express my self in very different ways or styles. So don’t take me just as a tattooer because this have been my full time job for the last 6/7 years, im visual artist that loves to express myself in very different ways.
Tattooing is a big thing for me, its super, super special, because it’s my living art walking around the world on my clients skin. The happiness my clients share with me about the tattoos i have made on them fill’s my heart with love.
I can say that i’m very lucky to tattoo people that travel the world just to be tattooed by me, and this is what brigs me the energy to keep going.
Big thanks to everyone that tattooed or hire me to do my art. You are the reason that keep me doing what i love, and can’t imagine how important it is for me and for my family.
