Photography became part of my artistic practice while I was studying Architecture, when I first encountered the traditional photographic darkroom. What initially began as a technical exploration gradually evolved into a way of observing and understanding the relationship between people, landscape, and time.

In 2004, I continued my studies in black-and-white photography at the School of Communications and Arts (ECA), University of São Paulo (USP). Working in the darkroom profoundly influenced my practice, teaching me that photography is not only about capturing an image, but about constructing a visual experience through light, time, and materiality.

During this period, I developed my first photographic series, which later became the exhibition Imprecisions (imprecissões), presented in downtown São Paulo in 2006 at the Association of Friends of the Museum of Modern Art (AAMAM).

Using medium-format film, long exposures, double exposures, and manual darkroom printing, I explored the coexistence of permanence and movement within the city. Rather than documenting urban life, the photographs sought to reveal the invisible rhythms of public space, where architecture and human presence continuously shape one another.

Since then, photography has remained an essential part of my artistic research. Together with drawing and architecture, it has become a way of investigating memory, landscape, silence, and the passage of time.
