The Last Tree on Earth
When he’s not doing his commercial photography work, you can find him likely shooting the sea with his long exposure techniques where he is able to include the time element into his images.

entry description
Today there's only 7% left of the original Atlantic Rainforest. The deforestation is one of the main causes for less rain in the southeast region of Brazil. This image was taken during a trip to Minas Gerais. There was lots of clouds passing by and I waited a while when suddenly a sun ray lit the tree. I decided to make a black and white photo to give a contrast and more drama to the image.about the photographer
