1. Dolphin Flip
Dolphin Flip Series — Paris, May 2025
In different corners of São Paulo, Brazil, there was a small boy who used to escape reality with nothing but a friend and a skateboard. At the beginning, what started as a simple activity, quickly shaped the way he talked, dressed and viewed life — He had all the time in the world and nothing to worry about but skating.
That boy is me and his journey is translated into “Dolphin flip’’: a personal project that invites everyone to dive deep into the skateboard culture in Paris, discovering what is behind a skater's world. The absence of digital photography was intentional and this analog documentary-style series is meant to embody the rawness and unpredictable energy that comes with skateboarding — I invite you to immerse yourself into the atmosphere of this subculture.

The entire project was shot on 35mm black and white film at different spots whithin the city. Everything seen was as it is — nothing staged, styled or designed to look a certain way. Choices made to be truth to reality and bring veracity to de documentary of this specific subculture.
