Blocos
Morning Bloco
Drums before breakfast. The first parade runs on pure nerves and glitter.

Sambain the streets
Blocos at dawn, escolas at midnight, and every sequin in between. I shoot carnival from inside the crowd, close enough to feel the drums.

Carnivals & block parties
Feathers, sweat, brass and dust. The nights when a whole street becomes a stage and everyone gets a close up.
Sambadrome
Escola Night
Wing after wing sweeping past the judges, feathers taller than the floodlights.

After Hours
Speakers cooling, confetti stuck to wet pavement. The quiet after the shout.

Carnival Photographer · Rio
Warm colour, hard flash, no posing.
I chase the split second when a dancer locks eyes with the crowd, when a kid on someone's shoulders sees the whole parade at once. If you want your carnival remembered with warmth and grit, let's talk.
- Tell me the streetBloco, escola, private party or brand activation.
- I scout the routeLight, corners, where the drums slow down.
- We shoot it loudEdited gallery, plus quick picks for social the next morning.
"Somehow the photos sound like the parade. You can hear the surdo in every frame."
04 / Questions
Before the drums
Do you shoot inside the crowd or from the side?
Inside, mostly. I move with the bloco and step out for wide frames when the route opens up.
Can you cover a private party or brand float?
Yes. Tell me the schedule and the must-have moments and I will plan the day around them.
How fast do we get photos?
A handful of quick picks the next morning, the full edited gallery after that. Timing depends on the day.
