As a cultural consultant and photographer based in Rio, I offer curated photographic journeys that move beyond the postcard image. Available for bookings in formats ranging from half‑day immersions to multi‑day explorations, I guide participants into the living Rio,  from traditional fishing villages to marketplaces in the heart of old Rio, where colonial facades meet the bustle of street hawkers. Each journey follows the shifting light across beaches and beyond, always with plenty of  samba.

My menu of experiences ranges from gafieira, the graceful samba danced in Rio’s historic ballrooms, to Afro‑Brazilian rituals in nature and the vibrancy of everyday street life. Every journey is carefully tailored to the story each photographer seeks to tell.
