About

I was born in Mexico City but my curiosity has taken me to many places: US, London, Warsaw and now Stockholm.

After a previous life in Engineering, Management, and Entrepreneurship, my photographic work is focused on portrait and fashion.

Inspiration

After many years of working with maths, I'm now drawn very much to it. I feel like almost all shapes and forms around us hint at a mathematical rhythm—Mountains, LEDs, and every day objects have all their exponential or logarithmic faces.

While not trained formally in arts, my background in Engineering and Management have allowed me to understand the physics of light, the electronics of studio lights and cameras, and the collaboration required in the set to produce great images. 



Last Winter I attended the Fashion Photography course in the London Institute of Photography, and this Summer I was accepted in the Summer Fashion Shooting course at the prestigious Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) in Milan.
