It's all about the stories

Hey there! I’m Marlon, a Brazilian-Canadian travel photographer and storyteller with an insatiable love for nature, adventure, and the hidden stories woven into every corner of the world.

Through my lens, I don’t just capture places - I capture moments, emotions, and the fleeting beauty that so often goes unnoticed. Whether it’s the quiet solitude of a misty morning, the warmth of a stranger’s smile, or the untamed power of nature, every image I create is meant to pause time and make you feel something.

Because here’s the truth: the present is all we truly have. Yes, that might sound clichê, but it’s also a reality we often forget. In the blink of an eye, today becomes a memory, and that’s where photography becomes more than just art - it becomes a bridge back to the moments that matter.

I personally print every piece using museum-quality fine art materials, ensuring that each photograph is not only visually stunning but crafted to last a lifetime. Every print tells a story, and I hope that when you bring one into your space, it inspires you to pause, reflect, and appreciate the world around you.

Thank you for being here, and for allowing my work to become a part of your story.

My Photographic Process

Photography has been my passion for over 25 years—a craft I deeply care about. Every photo you see here was taken with purpose and intention. My editing process is guided by a desire to show you the scene as I experienced it, capturing not just the visuals but also the emotions I felt in that moment.

With my camera in hand, whether in nature or on bustling city streets, I find myself more attuned to the stories unfolding around me. Photography invites me to be fully present, to notice life’s fleeting details. When something captivates my attention, I strive to capture it—a snapshot that freezes a moment in time. These photographs become portals to the past, allowing me (and you) to revisit those memories, whether on a wall, in a frame, or shared through social media.
