Hi there and welcome to my portfolio!

Born and raised in Cologne, Germany, I studied in Santa Catarina state, Brazil and am currently based in Paris, France.

I work in Fashion Marketing and while modeling has always been more of a fun thing to me, I do bring quite some experience both in front of and behind the lens along :)

As to most of you here, modeling means far more to me than “getting some beautiful pictures of oneself”. I see the interaction between photographer and portrayed person, the thousands and one combinations of black and white, the use of light and shadow, of tissue and skin as a way to express myself in all the different facets that compose me. Or maybe even in a way I wouldn’t have dared to see myself.
That might be something pretty easy, or a highly complicated set. Something planned until the last detail or a spontaneous shot in between. Because what most fascinates me is how the intention to bann emotions, thoughts, ideas, situations -whatever- onto paper (ok, mostly pixels) offers endless possibilities, so that you might even get surprised by your own project.

Being creative together definitely represents something special to me. And while I don’t always have a specific idea in mind and I don’t necessarily expect this from the photographer, I do love to participate in ideation phase and sculpt a vision together.

Although I can get pretty perfectionist about some details I guess working with me is fun :-)

What else?
I love art in general, be it architecture, design or paintings. I have also enjoyed some acting training and taught a couple of Brazilian dances. Did a bit of martial arts and pretty savvy in all things image consulting.

Feel free to reach out when in town!
