About me

I was born in Mexico and brought to the states at the age of four, along with my wonderful family. As a child, I was always pretending to be a character from the movies or from TV shows. I was used to playing outside with my friends, we ran around and chased each other pretending to be cops and robbers or The Power Rangers. We always created different scenarios and characters; our imagination was always running

As a teenager, I started to fall into the role that would lead me to my profession. I found myself willingly taking pictures of the family at birthday parties. In high school I always imagined myself behind a camera, whether it was a still or video camera in my career. That was when the idea of becoming a photographer and filmmaker came to fruition. Thus, the path to film school was paved and I was on my way to becoming the visual storyteller I am today

Since then, I have grown as a person and I’ve learned many skills. I went from a simple point and shoot to skillfully using Professional gear to capture beautiful moments. I took the raw talent I had and turned it into a well-earned skill set.
