I was born and raised in Bogotá, a vibrant city full of chaos, yet deeply marked by art—in its streets, its downtown, its people, and in each of the mentors who taught me photography.

​

Before discovering the world of imagery, I studied Systems Engineering. It was during that degree, in one of those elective courses, that I discovered photography. I am endlessly grateful for that class, as it opened my mind and heart to something I never imagined I would love so deeply.

​

While studying engineering and working at the same time, I also found space for sports. I have been an athlete my whole life, and back then, I used to skate through the streets of Bogotá. I always carried a camera with me—a tool I didn’t yet fully know how to use—but it quickly became my inseparable companion. With it, I photographed my friends skating, the streets of the city, and the surrounding landscapes.

​

One day, I decided to formally study photography. I looked for universities that offered not only technical training but also art, art history, and programs that started with analog photography in the darkroom. Fortunately, Bogotá had several options, and I believe I chose the best. For four and a half years, I immersed myself in art, images, and a visual world that I learned to see and appreciate. I was fortunate to study under the best teachers in the country: passionate landscape photographers, editors of leading newspapers, strict creative directors in fashion agencies, and designers who lived and breathed photography, light, and color.

​

After graduating, I knocked on countless doors to pursue photography outside of Colombia. One day, a company in Mexico gave me an opportunity. I flew to work as a wedding photographer, and later lived in Costa Rica capturing family moments in hotels. After some time, I returned to Mexico, not knowing I would fall in love with its people and culture. I settled in Guadalajara, the land of mariachi and tequila, where I founded my photography business and built my family.

​

Sports are another great passion of mine. In Guadalajara, I discovered boxing, which I have practiced for as many years as I have lived here. I also enjoy hiking—the mountains inspire me in every sense—and swimming; I love being in the water. I am certified in AIDA Level 1 freediving, so I also practice apnea. Sports, without a doubt, fill me with life.

​

And if there is something that moves me deeply, it is cinema. I love it because it is a unique blend of art and emotion. In every film, I find inspiration: the way light tells stories, the silences that speak louder than words, the characters who feel close even when they live in faraway worlds. For me, cinema is both a refuge and a window; it excites me, makes me reflect, and often inspires the way I create images. Each film is a reminder that behind every story lies a world of possibilities, and that same spirit I seek to bring to my photography.

​

Today, I am married to a woman from Guadalajara and proud father of a beautiful Mexican daughter. My life revolves around three pillars: being a present father, dedicating myself 100% to photography (between sessions, countless hours of editing, and watching films to study imagery because there is always more to learn), and staying active through sports. I am simple, direct, and kind, always seeking to provide clear answers and remaining open to discovering new places, people, and perspectives along the way.
