I was born in South America and grew up there until age 16. My parents sought to leave the country because of the political unrest (though now, it is much better). I finished my education here in the USA. It was also here where I was exposed to many more cultures, different weather, and tastes.
My exposure to photography was in my teens but I did not really explored it until my 20s. That year, I switched gears and I haven’t looked back. I took some classes at a local University for fun but it quickly developed into a subject to pursue. It became serious when I apprenticed with an established photographer and learned, the old fashioned way, with film.
Throughout the years, I have seen and I have been exposed to the works of the many photography greats. I consider my influences to be (but not limited to): Peter Lindbergh, Mario Testino, Guido Argentini, Walter Iooss, Jr., and the late Helmut Newton. You might distinguish a similar approach in my photography though I keep my own take. To this date, I use sometimes use film though especially to B&W and slide film. My preference is limited studio work and more on-location and outdoors. I travel…a lot. A “hired gun” as Newton put it. Learning is never finished on any subject and especially not in photography.
My main interest is artistic nudes, boudoir, the female figure, and cinematic compositions for artistic collections and editorial/commercial applications. On occasion, you will see me still dedicate to photographing product (for commercial purposes), sports, and the occasional weddings especially for my models.
Weather and natural phenomena is a side fascination. Growing up south of the equator and in a desert environment, I never saw snow nor experienced thunder and lightning. I saw all those while in the USA. When my work allows, I do some stormchasing which I have been doing since 2005. I have traveled to Newfoundland to locate icebergs and some other self-assigned photo and video projects all over nationally and some internationally and overseas.
