A career built on a childhood passion: horses. In the early 90s, I started breeding horses of the Mangalarga breed (known as Brazilian Saddle horses), and over these 33 years of breeding, I graduated in Animal Science in 2007, did a postgraduate degree in Zebu (bovine livestock) judging in 2011, always intending to understand the intricacies of breeding.
Going back in time a little, more precisely in the year 2000, I started taking photos and creating advertisements for my animals, and in response to requests from some breeder friends, I started taking some photos and creating advertisements for these friends. That same year, I joined the Board of Directors of ABCCRMangalarga and took on the responsibility of editing the entity's official magazine. This new venture led me to a degree in Photography from the renowned (and now extinct) Escola Panamericana de Artes, in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
In these 23 years, I have photographed approximately 10,000 horses, taken photos that illustrated 23 covers of specialized magazines, created countless logos, developed layouts for horse trucks, and created hundreds of ads and auction catalogs.
