I am passionate about natural light, our beautiful world, especially the ocean and creating impressing imagery characterized by a documentary style.

Born in Lisbon, Portugal, raised in Northern Germany and now based on Bowen Island, B.C. in Canada with my wife Chrissy, I have always lived closed to the ocean and the coast. This is where I feel very comfortable and where I love to spend my days with my camera, and getting inspiration from.

My work as a professional freelance photographer covers outdoor, lifestyle and people photography. It is all about having a good time…in life and photography.

Cheers, Mario.
