I'm a Portuguese / South African wildlife photographer and finance professional. I have a degree in Business Management from Porto University, Portugal. In 2020, I did FGASA level 1 in the Masai Mara, to become a qualified field guide.
Over the past year I have been pursuing my passion in wildlife photography and some of my photos have been published (Wildlife Photographic and Wild Planet) and received recognition in photography competitions. My greatest ambition is to create awareness through my photography and support conservation projects to help save the incredible wildlife of our planet.
