He was a photographer, writer, actor, director, cameraman, musician and poet. He started photographing while still a child, in the early 1960s. After 10 years doing still photography, he went into cinema, doing three feature films with Renato Aragão. He has also worked with Fabio Barreto in Índia; Gustavo Dahl, in Tensão no Rio; and Milton Alencar Junior, in Os Três Palhaços, as a cinematographer. He moved to São Paulo, where he remained for three years at a small production company, Ciclo Filmes, owned by Romain Lesage. There, he participated in the production of Itaipú, A pedra que canta, viewed by over 5.5 million people, according to the press office of company Itaipú Binacional, which manages the plant. The film earned him the silver medal at the New York Film Festival. He made the photographic essay Argentinidad, the outcome of a trip with his son, Francisco Fritscher, to Buenos Aires and Bariloche in July 2005. The works were shown at the gallery of Instituto ArteClara, on Jardim Botânico, in October and November 2005, and from December through March that same year at the gallery of UNIVERSO, at Salgado de Oliveira University in Niterói. On both occasions, the show enjoyed high attendance and critical acclaim. His last work illustrated the cover of band Paralamas do Sucesso’s DVD Hoje, released in March 2006.
