My photographic work has always been a mirror of my own development as a person. As a young photographer, I was drawn to stories that revolved around questions of personal development and experiences. Melancholy and tranquility emerged as sources of strong expression in photography. Years later I realised that my interest in telling the stories of women, in particular, is the thread that runs throughout my career. that awareness of what interests me most has led me to becoming An independent documentary photographer. After years in Switzerland and abroad – mainly Angola, West Africa – I am now working and living with my two daughters in Portugal.
