About Me:
Dedicated photographer and artist with international experience and a strong artistic vision. Gained expertise under the mentorship of renowned photographers such as Steve McCurry, David Alan Harvey, Marc De Tollenaere, Nicos Economopoulos, Greg Gorman, Steve Thornton, Julia Fullerton-Batten, Nike Larson, and Tim Mantoani. Deep engagement with contemporary and historical artists in photography and painting, focusing on portraiture, street photography, composition, and performance art.
For the past five years, the artistic focus has been on project-based and conceptual street photography. Selected artist for visual arts at significant events and internationally renowned festivals, such as the Rencontres d’Arles (OFF Program), with contributions featured in notable magazines and publications. Currently working on a long-term project about a closed social community in Puerto Rico, alongside an artistic exploration of young people’s search for boundary-pushing experiences in urban spaces within my hometown.
