I was born, virtually, in my father’s darkroom. This happened in Portugal in 1979, when we would make homemade formulas for developing photos. I have been splitting my professional time between engineering and photography but in April 2013 I embarked on a career break to experience an extraordinary journey that led me to travel over 17 countries and allowed me to work as a photographer. At the moment I live between Timor-Leste and Portugal.
