About

With a robust educational background in communication, media, and photography, I have honed my skills across various institutions, including the Universidade Lusíada de Lisboa and the London School of Photography. My career began with an internship at Marinha Portuguesa, where I gained experience in video shooting, editing, and web design. I have since developed a diverse portfolio, working as a photographer and retoucher for companies like NET-A-PORTER and Select Fashion. As a freelancer, I have provided photography and retouching services, specializing in food and product photography. Currently, I serve as a Photography Studio Assistant at Essentiel Antwerp, where I assist in studio operations and retouching tasks. My experience spans across fashion, jewelry, and product photography, with a strong emphasis on creative and technical expertise.
