March 22, 1968

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

I began my journey in analog photography and black and white development in 1994. I then trained as a specialist in program reproduction (image and sound) and since then I have continued my training by attending various courses and workshops taught by local and national photographers such as Rafa Arocha, Gabriel Brau, and Ouka Lele, among others.

The styles I'm most passionate about working with are documentary, social, and artistic. But when it comes to photography, I don't rule out other styles.
