Street Photography nominee

The series aim to demonstrate a glimpse of the Egyptian traditions and way of life, mixing modern features of day to day with ancient traditional practices. This is shown from the traditional agricultural plantations, to the street commerce of food products, typical clothing, transportation of animals in ruddimentary and apparent risky manner and a mix of use of technological advances (means of transportation and communication) while maintaining old habits and practices. Photos made in January, 2026, with Nikon D850 and lenses Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 (photos 001, 004 and 005) and Nikkor 50mm, f 1.4 (photos 002 and 003).

I was born in 1971 and my passion for photography started young, back on the days of 35mm roll films. I have always been strongly connected with nature and the main focus of work relates to wildlife and landscapes, as wells as abstracts, in that case mostly related to environmental elements.

I was graduated in law at the Pontifical Catholic University in Rio de Janerio in 1994, with further advanced studies degrees from Getúlio Vargas Foundation - FGV, a Master at Laws Degree from the University of Chicago, a specialisation degree from Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro - UERJ and training at the Brazilian Diplomatic Mission in Geneva with the World Trade Organization - WTO. For decades, I have cumulated the work as as a lawyer with studies and practice of photography as an amateur.

Some years ago, after a long career as a lawyer, I have decided to be professionally dedicated to photography and have been having lots of fun with it!
