About Me

Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I've been based in London since 1994.
For the last 20 years I have been teaching photography for post-graduate students at the Goldsmith College - University of London.
As a very experienced Educator, Artist, and Commercial Photographer, I enjoy very much the teaching/learning process. I believe teaching is a two-way street as I benefit enormously from the enthusiasm and open-minded nature of someone wanting to learn, probably as much as my students benefit from what I can offer based on my experience

Education

As a self-taught photographer, I have an extensive academic career holding a Photography Lecturer post at Goldsmiths - University of London from 1997 to present.

Experience / Qualifications

As a Photography Lecturer at Goldsmiths – University of London, I am responsible for the photographic element of the “Photography - The Image and the Electronic Arts” MA degree.
I also run a variety of photography-related short courses and workshops from my London studio.
In addition to my academic career, I am also a practicing artist having my work exhibited in various group and solo shows in the UK, Brazil, Argentina, and most recently at the “Rotterdam Photo Festival 2020" in the Netherlands
As a commercial photographer, I work mainly in the Fine Arts/Design/Interiors sector.
In a nutshell, "Colour Management" is a range of very specific procedures & software settings giving you colour consistency throughout your digital workflow. Producing and/or editing images (Digital Photographs, Scans, Digital Drawings, Graphic Design pieces, etc.) in a colour managed environment allows you to produce work which will look the same on a screen and on a print. This is the case for prints produced by yourself as well as by professional printing services. What we will cover: - What is colour management? - Colour Modes, Colour Spaces, Colour Gamut - ICC/ICM Colour Profiles - Equipment Calibration - Colour settings for relevant software (Photoshop, InDesign, etc.) - Colour Managed Digital Workflow, step by step.

Learn everything you ever wanted to know about your own camera
If you have been using a camera or mobile phone for a long time or you have just bought or been given a new one and you have never dared to shoot in manual mode or you want to learn more or try new things, these classes are ideal for you. Together we will go over all the technical and narrative points so that you can get the most out of your camera and be able to express and document everything that attracts you and makes you think or reflect. In a didactic and playful way you will have the necessary tools to start creating more visually attractive images as you always wanted to do. You will start to see at another level and life will start to seem like a constant movie where everything happens around you. Why can't I create blur? How do I change the color of my photo? Why is my image grainy? How do I avoid a blurry image? But my photo didn't turn out well at all! We will solve these and many more questions together by learning basic and advanced techniques using fun exercises. Light measurement, movement control, focus and blur, color, composition, depth of focus, image quality, color temperature, contrast and much more will be some of the dozens of points to be covered. If you want to get started or would like to know more details or have any questions, you can contact me by writing me a message here

Let's cover the basics of settings, photography theory, and get some inspiration before we hit the field. Want to hone your skills? I can offer you valuable advice on taking photos.
