Professor, Street Photographer and Historian with graduation (1999) and master’s degree in Social History by the University of São Paulo (2003).Since 2010 I’m Specially Appointed Professor of Portuguese Language, Brazilian History and Culture at Graduate School of Language and Culture of Osaka University (Handai) and at Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (2011-2021). Currently I’m researching on the History of Contemporary Japan, focusing on relations between Race, Nation and Emigration in the Meiji period (1868-1912) and Japanese Photography (1850-1945).
Project Statement
Since I was three years old I see the world myopia through my glasses, observing from my “darkroom” the movement of things around me, without trying to understand them, just wandering around… Therefore, my (late) choice in photographing “strangers” in the streets for me was something natural.
For me Photography is the exercise of seeing for what is not.
