I’m Fernando, a Brazilian-born documentarian based in North Vancouver, Canada.

Growing up outdoors and exploring the Brazilian tropical rainforest, I developed a deep passion for—and appreciation of—nature, especially water.

I began my career as a commercial photographer, working on brand campaigns and fine art projects. With a degree in Biological Sciences and a Master’s in Fine Arts, my work naturally evolved toward natural history documentation. For the last 14 years, I’ve been documenting and exploring unique ecosystems around the world.

Having lived in several countries, I’m comfortable working across cultures and environments. I speak Portuguese, Spanish, and English, and hold triple citizenship (Brazil, Canada, and the EU).

When I’m not holding a camera or travelling, you’ll find me rock climbing with my partner, scuba diving, or playing chess.
