felipealves
🇧🇷 born. bay area bred.
Felipe was born in São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo, Brazil - where he spent 10 years of his life growing up & the other remaining years living in where he now calls home– Oakland, California.
Ever since he could remember, Photography has been a part of his life. "Sorriso grande pra vovó!", "Big smile for grandma!", would be the exact words he’d constantly hear. Felipe spent years photographing and documenting life so that his family afar in Brazil could keep in touch and watch him grow (now travel along with him). ☁ ✈
The goal is to someday travel abroad and retell as many epic and intimate cultural stories as he possibly can. Keep the memories alive, so that years from now, we have documented evidence of how the world we live in today used to be. *mindblown 🤯
