Thank you very much for visiting this space. I consider myself to be a philosopher of light, aspiring to be a poet who talks with images. I believe that photos are a window to the interior of a dream. I thoroughly enjoy creating emotional images, full with intricate details that invite the perceiver to pass some time in front of them. I believe it is possible to capture the true beauty within each person when they feel relaxed and that we are creating something. The feeling about we are about to capture something that will never be the same again is sacred.

And because of this, something that it is very important for me is that my models should be able to feel totally comfortable and relaxed. There is no way to capture something beautiful and totally honest if there is no clear communication between us. If you like to collaborate please contact me as I'm here not for the money, but with the drive to create some powerful images, full of narrative, that provoke the viewer. I'm very open to inspirational ideas and would love to hear what you have in mind.

If we are working TF, the number of photos supplied (edited, digital or printed versions) will be discussed and agreed in advance. If you confirm a shoot with me and fail to be there you are most likely to receive a negative feedback (dependent on circumstance). I am very serious about this and I expect you to be the same. If you contact me I will assume you want to work with me TF. That, or you are going to pay me for my services. Please do not be offended if I decline a shoot if it doesn't go with my creative vision.

A bit about me.

I won two photography contests in Mexico, one organized by Motorola when their first phone with serious photographic capabilities was introduced, which was in 2008. The second one was run by the Anglo Mexican Foundation in collaboration with "Cuarto Oscuro" (the most important photography magazine in Mexico) in 2009. In the UK I won a contest by the Mexican Embassy in the UK, in 2015, and exhibited my work at an art gallery in London and then in Mexico City.

My work has been exhibited in Mexico, France, Spain, Germany and England. My latests exhibitions have been in Paris, Linares Spain and Strasbourg. Some of my work is part of private collections in Mexico, Spain, Germany The United Kingdom and France.

Hope to being able to work with some of you!
