Hi! I'm Teo, a 31-year-old Brazilian photographer based in Brasília, Brazil. My work centers on an evergoing exploration of what it means to be alive .
I discovered photography in 2015 as an exchange student in New York City. The energy of its streets sparked a passion for documenting places and moments, but over time, I’ve come to focus more on evoking a sense of atmosphere rather than chasing decisive moments.
Back in Brazil, I photographed my family’s home state of Piauí, creating images that became treasured memories of loved ones. That experience taught me the importance of photographing with intention, seeking meaning beyond the frame.
Street photography, for me, is about immersing myself in the feel of a scene and connecting with its stories. Each photograph is a step toward understanding the world and myself—one moment at a time.
