01. How long have you been a
photographer and how does it
tarted in you life?
02. How would you describe your
style? Which things do you like
taking photos of the most?
03. What type of cameras you
shoot with? Which one is your
favorite?
B- It's been 2 years only. It started
once I came to live in Europe, as
he landscapes and cityscapes were
ompletely different from the ones
n Brazil, I felt the need to save the
memory.
B- I really like to photograph
landscapes and cityscapes, this
passion came together with the
traveling one, it is great to get to
discover new places in the world
and be able to catch it in my lens.
B- I shoot with DSLRs, I'm now
attached to my canon 6D, it is my
first full-frame camera and I hope
not to be the last. Before that I had
a cropped one, the 600D, canon as
well.
04. If you had to choose one lens, which one would it be
and why?
B- The one I'm using the most, the canon ef 17-40mm f/4l
USM. It is a great fit for landscape shooting, but also flexible
enough for general purpose. The 17 is a great focal distance
for landscape, and added to the full sensor of the camera it i
like you take a step back when you are aiming.

05. How important is
Photoshop (or any other
editing software) in your
final images?
B- I use Lightroom. As I take shots using RAW format, it is good to be able to
change basic features afterwards, sometimes you miss the right exposition, for
example, it is nice to have the possibility of editing it. Besides basic attributes, I
correct the leveling and do some cropping, as the wide angle of the lens
sometimes catches more elements than I need.
06. How do you educate yourself to take better photos?
B- There are actually very nice tutorials in youtube,
professionals who teach from beginners to advanced levels,
from general purpose photos to the most specific ones. I
have some ebooks and I also use to visit photography blogs
as much as possible.

4. 07. What do you think is
the most challenging thing
about photographing?
B- I think it is to give your
photo a story, that it would
not be just another photo of
a given
thing/landscape/person, but
that it could be unique in its
own way and tell a story by
itself.

08. Where would be your dream destination for a photo
shooting?
B- From the places I haven't been yet, I'd love to go up North,
could be Norway, to photograph the aurora borealis, that would
be an amazing landscape scenario.
09. What is your favorite recent image you have shot? Why?
B- I've been in Japan last september and I took a shot from the top
of one of their biggest skyscrapers in Tokyo. I was fascinated with
all the details of that cityscape, and as I took it at night, I used a
long exposition, so we can see the small traces of the car lights in
the streets.
10. What advice do you have for somebody who wants to
pursue photography?
B- If beginning, start with a general purpose equipment and see
what pleases you the most to photograph, after that you'll be able
to make better choices on specialized lens and so on. Learn the
basic concepts and rules to get outside the automatic mode. The
most important is to be willing to evolve, find better locations,
better camera settings; in other words, have always in mind that
you are not done yet and you will still take your best shot.
