About Faustino Santos

I am a knitter, photographer and writer born in 1983 and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

In April 2008 I spent six months in Israel, then I moved to Dublin in Ireland, where portrait, street photography and film photography development became my passion. At the end of 2012 I moved near Freibug in South Germany.

​I struggled after moving to Germany. Being more isolated and living near the Black Forest I focused on building pinhole cameras and working in projects with them. Being completely broken and hopeless in the south I looked for job opportunities elsewhere and I got hired at a McDonald's in Hamburg, where I moved in 2015.

I tried different jobs later on looking for better wages and living conditions. Meanwhile, I continued with my photography projects and I got better opportunities to meet photographers and models in Hamburg than in South Germany.

Because of the poor conditions of old buildings in Germany I developed a neurological problem and with the start of the pandemic in 2020 it got worse. I could not keep working outside anymore. This is when I focused my attention on writing and after that on knitting.

Here is where I am now, combining my knitting, photography and writings focused on what I enjoy the most.

Like most artists and people looking for a "home", I am terrible at selling myself and my work. I also strogle with a deep impostor syndrome resulting in many lost opportunities. People tell me "No! You should not talk about your struggles in your bio" and bla, bla, bla. But I can't help. I like talking about myself. Over sharing is an attempt to connect with people and that is what I want.

​So this is me.
