Fernando Ferreira

Description

Salutations folks! I’m Fernando Ferreira, a skateboarder since 1989 and a skateboard photographer since 2004.
I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 43 years ago, but now I live in India. I’ve worked with all major skateboard magazines in Brazil, with CemporcentoSkate being the one I worked with for the longest time.
Worked with NikeSB for almost 7 years and besides skateboarding I did all sorts of photography on the side: journalism, portrait for magazines, architecture, fashion, and so on. Now I’m following the development of skateboard here in India in its embryonic stage and it has been a wild and fun ride.

WillDias Note:

I met Fernando about 20 years ago, at a championship held in Teresópolis, in the heart of the Rio de Janeiro countryside. At the time, he was just starting out on his photography journey, and I vividly remember the impressive photos he took of me during the event.
Since that initial meeting, our bond has deepened considerably. We shared living quarters in São Paulo for a period, traveled to various destinations together in pursuit of our skateboarding and photography passions and even collaborated on an unforgettable feature for a skateboarding magazine in Brazil - a highlight among my interview experiences to this day.
Over the years, Fernando made his way to India, but our friendship remained firm and unshakable. He has undoubtedly earned his place among my closest confidants, a dear companion on life's journey.
