ABOUT MAFE

 
ICONO SOLO-02.png
 

MaFe is the short-name to Maria Fernanda. I am an ex-lawyer with an MBA, who after leaving my country and living different international experiences, and working as a Business planner reinvented myself 11 years ago into a very passionate documentary photographer celebrating people's life in the places I have been. As a mother of 2 boys (6 and 9 years) I also document my very own family the same way I do for others. 

Now I want to meet you and celebrate with you from a very honest and beautiful perspective images that will make you embrace your everyday life, documenting your routines and what seems like a normal day to you. Because it is in those tiny but important moments that we dedicate to our job, our  family that builds a connection between you and the ones who surround your story and as time passes they will become unforgettable memories that bring us back to who we are, to our own essence.

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things long after you have forgotten everything
