About me
Certified in Direction of Photography at the Instituto del Cine de Madrid, I bring a vision
shaped by living in Spain, Colombia, the United States, and the Netherlands.
My work fuses poetic realism and intuitive emotion, capturing people, architecture,
animals, and everyday spaces with subtle meaning.
With experience across all roles in the camera and lighting department — from Director of
Photography to Gaffer — I adapt fluidly to each production. I also work as a BTS
photographer and documenting.
This versatility has given me a deep understanding of visual language and set dynamics,
allowing me to contribute both technically and artistically to every project.
