Born in Pará and with more than 30 years in the profession, Rogério began his career documenting Indigenous peoples for the Museu Emílio Goeldi in Belém, Pará. In 1989, he joined the official Funai (Brazil’s federal Indigenous affairs agency) expedition that made first contact with the Zo’é people, and his documentation of it was published in national and international media.
He has taken part in exhibitions in several Brazilian cities, as well as in Cuba, Germany, the United States, and South Africa. He currently develops documentary projects in the social and environmental field, teaches workshops on documentary photography, and collaborates with the NGOs Greenpeace and Instituto Socioambiental (ISA).
In August 2022, his work served as the basis for the visual identity of the Concertation’s various digital channels.
