Helena 

b.1987 in São Paulo, Brazil

I work as photographer, dop and documentarist.

Splitting my time between press assignments, long term artistic projects and creating visuals for brands.

Currently showing my first feature documentary as a director, a film entitled "The Safest Place in The Wolrd" that tells the story of the social and ecological disaster in Mariana, Brazil, through the eyes a guy in his early 20's. The film was premiere at DocLisboa, 2021 and won the Canon Jury Award. 

In 2017, I was selected to be an artist in residency in Goa, India, as part of "The Story of Space Festival" with the project  "Missing Women"  explores the space of women in Brazilian and Indian societies. 

My photo work has featured in exhibits in New York, Berlin, Brasilia and São Paulo. 

My earliest creation was my son, Bem.
