I am Faro, Portugal based freelance photographer. My passion is macro photography of insects and wildflowers. I am also interested in different styles such as portrait, architecture, street photography and sports.

I am not a biologist or ecologist!
I am a citizen scientist. 🦋 🌻 🪲

One interesting thing is when I found new species for my country. That’s great 😃

Scientific publications in which I have participated:

• Diptera: Dolichopodidae https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31716932/
• Diptera: Tachinidae https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322027951_An_annotated_checklist_of_the_Tachinidae_Diptera_of_mainland_Portugal
• Diptera: Syrphidae http://sea-entomologia.org/Publicaciones/PDF/BOLN_49/127144BSEA49SyrphidaePortugal.pdf

For identifications I’m a generalist, not a specialist!

Education: I have a Degree (pre-Bologna) in Financial Management by University of Algarve.
