About Me

Humanistic photography is a powerful way to convey the essence of our shared experiences and the intricate connections between people, their environment, and their cultural heritage

My Work

Over the past 6 years, I have focused my work on humanist photography. My goal is to capture images with naturalness, simplicity, and spontaneity, to reflect everyday life as something exceptional. I pay attention not only to people but also to their vestiges: objects, places, or any human creation that reveals an intention. 

Within this approach, I am interested in exploring the relationship between human beings and nature, with special emphasis on agriculture as a commercial activity, as well as on the deep-rooted traditions in communities and families, which are often the true driving force behind them.

Biography

I am originally from two Latin American countries: Costa Rica and Colombia. Since childhood, I have been a curious observer. My family, nature, people, and the moments I have experienced in these two places inspire me and ignite a great passion for telling stories.

In my work, I explore themes such as cultural identity, personal narratives, and the relationship between humans and nature. 

Over the past 15 years, I have worked in editorial photography and video, documenting various aspects of life. I have developed a body of work with a humanistic focus, which forms the essence of my voice as a photographer and artist.

My ability to translate complex ideas into simple and meaningful communication, bringing them to life through images, is crucial in my creative process.

Weddings hold a special place in my heart and allow me to capture genuine human connections. These emotions, the nervous glances, the shared promises, and the reunion of friends and family are not just fleeting; they echo through generations, etching themselves into our heritage.
