Wow, that's a question better suited for a therapy session or a self discovery journey (on a desert with a horse with no name kind of thing). But I can tell you a little bit of what's happened to me so far :)

I started my career working as a designer in advertising agencies in Brazil. One of these agencies had a few restaurant clients (I've always loved cooking, so it was pretty cool). And what do you know! Those restaurants needed photos of their dishes and, what do you know again! My dad surprised me with a camera as a gift, and shortly after, Lil ol' Andre started taking food photos :)

As time passed, I moved up the ladder to art director, continuing to improve my photography skills (I even went to school for it a looong time ago). Life happened, and after a few years, my lovely wife and I moved to Canada, landing on the Six in 2015, where I had the privilege to take the Culinary Arts program at George Brown College, having an internship in food styling at the end of the course. I started working as a photographer at a food photography studio in the city, and after a few years, I decided to fly solo and go freelance.

Now, here we are! I continue to create delicious food images for clients, from restaurants to agencies, producers, and studios, large or small. More often than not, I'm working with some of the most excellent food and prop stylists from around the GTA.

Making food images is my passion, it's what started it all, but I also shoot beverages, products, people, packaging and whatever crazy idea you can imagine. What really matters is to create.

Whew, I hope that wasn't too boring and you got to know a little about me. If you are looking for someone super creative, easygoing, great to be on set with, and capable of helping with more than your visual needs, head over to the contacts page, and let's start collaborating!

It’s safe to say that in todays fast paced digital world, outstanding and visually exciting images are the minimal your business need to have. It’s the starting point to many other marketing efforts and that’s where I come in.

Whether you’re a business owner, ad agency, producer or someone who is in need of incredible images from packaging to social media and everything in between, I’m your guy!

I work mostly with Toronto based clients, but I service all of the GTA, Hamilton and if conditions permitting, the WORLD!

These are some of the clients I've been fortunate to work with so far: The Mint Agency, Sleeman, Muse, Wild Fork Canada, George Brown College, Marks., Misette, Flock Chicken, The Food Group, Anomaly, Cossette, Matchstick, , On The Run Meals, Fleischmann's, The Little Potato Company, T-Fal, All-Clad, Lagostina, The Chef's Plate, McDonalds, Nestlé, Chicken Farmers of Canada, Hershey's and York University.
