title
Interior
I chose to visit not only the main cities but also the tribes and communities to have contact with the most preserved cultural sites of these places. It's hard to avoid the cliché tribe perspective going to Ethiopia and Kenya, but I saw a mix of eastern influence and traditional cultures.
This trip was a deep experience and I want to inspire others to do the same, especially now, when some countries have become more and more closed to foreign people.
He is a specialist in Visual Arts (SENAC), took classes at the School of visual Arts in NYC and studied cinematography at AIC – São Paulo.
Worked for some years in ad agencies as art director.
In 2006, he started to do still photography in movie sets.
Since them, he mixed his unique background developing his own creative work and also producing images to major clients.

It's hard to avoid the cliché tribe perspective going to Ethiopia and Kenya, but I saw a mix of eastern influence and traditional cultures.
