BIOGRAPHY

I am a 21 years old product and communication design student. Since I was just a kid, I liked to dye my hair different colors, what I like is to be “different” from others. I was born and raised in a city where you are always judged, so my main goal in life is to break every mental limit and every barrier. My way of breaking those limits? Photography. I started shooting at the age of 14, it was one of the many ways that helped me to express myself. My camera is always the same one, a Canon 1100D. I am the literal meaning of the phrase ‘the camera does not make the photographer’: the thing that distinguishes all of us is our sensitivity, and if you know what you want to tell, and express, you will get excellent results even when shooting with older photographic gear. Lately, a person told me ‘photograph what you want to protect’ and I felt this concept very deep into my soul because I have always photographed places in my city, abandoned buildings, taken portraits with ordinary people and people I love.
