About


Niagara-based Photography student attending the Digital Photography program at Niagara College. Meticulous yet simple, my work pays attention to detail, shapes and pattern to create a unique style of design.
 
From street photography to fashion editorial, I dedicate100% of my creativity and hard work to create the images shown in this site.With a small background in graphic design and a lot of practice in studio and the digital darkroom (Photoshop), I use digital media to bring about a story and/or concept. I like to tell stories through my photos and leave a message behind every image I capture, whether it’s simple or complicated.
 
Originally from Venezuela, I’ve always been interested in the visual arts since I was a child, and I feel that’s something that has helped me get an advantage, specially when it comes to understanding composition and design. Each photo I take is in a sort of way a painting, to me anyway, so I treat it as such and take my time in order to capture the best shot.
 
I am very lucky to be one of the few people in my generation that started learning photography using film cameras first instead of digital.Although I’m still practicing and learning to this day, I know how long the process of film can be and grew up learning to do photography with a limited amount of frames per roll. This is an example of why I take my time with photos and really try to get the best out of the image.
 
I may be a student, but with those I have worked with, do and will work with I treat them with respect, allowing creativity on set from anyone being part of my projects. This is always approached from a professional standpoint so that any client feels comfortable about my photography, for it’s important for them to feel confident about the final product.
