Previous to his film and photography career, Fábio worked for the international non-profit ActionAid for many years, where he gained experience in the grassroots work on poverty and social inequality. During this time he worked in rural communities in Northeast Brazil, a region that is suffering from one of the worst droughts in the last 50 years. He also worked in Haiti, a year after the devastating earthquake of 2010, and in the rural communities of Mozambique. These experiences inspired him to pursue filmmaking and photography as a way to convey contemporary socio-environmental issues.

Fábio's clients include international non-profits and media outlets such as ActionAid, Global Witness, CNN's Great Big Story, The Wall Street Journal and The Guardian. He is also a contributor to The Everyday Projects.

Fábio focuses on documenting stories through a personal and intimate narrative, aiming to bring awareness to, and most importantly, have an impact on social and environmental issues.
