I was born in Seville, Spain, and from a young age, I've been captivated by both technology and the arts. This fascination led me to pursue a career in architecture—a beautiful blend of these passions. Over a span of more than ten years, I successfully operated my own architecture firm.
Before embarking on my architectural journey, photography stole my heart. At 18, I fell in love with the art of developing my own photos, sparking my journey with an SLR camera and a home-based B&W lab. Photography became an enduring passion, though at the time, I didn't envision it as a full-time profession.
Upon my move to Shanghai in 2011, my dear friend Mathias Guillin, a talented photographer, extended an offer to join the professional photography world. Since July 2022, I've split my time between Phuket, Thailand, and Shanghai, China. While I still engage in architecture, creative direction, acting, and DJing, the majority of my focus and time now gravitates toward photography.
Witnessing the joy on my clients' faces as they view their products, properties, families, or themselves captured in ways they had never imagined is immensely fulfilling.
As a photographer, I revel in diversity, constantly exploring new styles and techniques. Over the years, my work has encompassed portraits, fashion, events, products, artworks, landscapes, real estate, and more.

P.S.: Beyond photography, I also delve into videography. Feel free to explore my video section on this site.
