I love photographing people; having the power to make someone smile and feel good about themselves is the greatest power of all.

Capturing people and their micro-expressions in the most varied moments, managing to extract the beauty that the person didn't know they had, is the art that I always strive to create. It's the power to make people believe more in themselves through my eyes.
Where do you find inspiration?When I see someone who doesn't expect anything from a simple photo, I always do my best to show them they're wrong. To show that beauty always exists in everyone, you just need someone willing to bring that beauty out in you.
What would you do with $25,000?To help my parents, improve my equipment, and continue studying and improving as a professional and as a person.
