A narrow, dimly lit corridor of an old apartment building, walls painted in muted beige with slight peeling near the baseboards, leading toward a half-open door at the end. On the floor, a carefully placed pair of worn black leather shoes and a small camera bag rest beside a thin runner rug. A single overhead fluorescent tube flickers faintly, supplemented by a cool, diffused glow spilling from the partially open door, creating a gradient of light down the hallway. The atmosphere feels documentary and contemplative, evoking unseen daily lives and narratives. Photographic realism, captured from a low, slightly off-center angle, deep depth of field maintaining sharp detail throughout, emphasizing linear perspective and the quiet tension of the in-between space.

A meticulously arranged collection of professional photography tools laid out on a dark matte tabletop: a high-end mirrorless camera body with a slightly worn metal grip, prime lenses with fine engraved markings, a sleek light meter, and a small notebook open to handwritten exposure notes. Subtle dust specks catch the light on the lens glass. Soft, diffused window light from the left creates gentle highlights on metal edges and long, understated shadows, evoking a calm, contemplative studio atmosphere. Photographic realism with a clean, minimalist aesthetic, shot from a slightly elevated angle with shallow depth of field, keeping the central camera in crisp focus while the surrounding objects melt into a sophisticated, muted bokeh background.

A large, finely textured charcoal-grey backdrop stretching across a studio floor, meeting a smooth vertical wall in a seamless curve, representing an abstract space for photographic exploration. On the ground, a single polished wooden cube with a subtle grain sits slightly off-center, its edges catching a narrow shaft of side light. The rest of the space falls into soft, velvety shadow. The atmosphere is quiet and introspective, suggesting potential portraits without showing any figures. Photographic realism with a minimalist, gallery-like mood, captured at eye level using the rule of thirds, with a wide aperture that keeps the cube sharp while the distant backdrop gently blurs into tonal gradations of grey.

La sensibilidad con la que retrata a las personas y su entorno convierte cada proyecto en una experiencia compartida; profesionalidad, paciencia y resultados que inspiran.

A stark, almost empty public square at early dawn, paved with large, cool-grey stone tiles still damp from a recent rain. In the center, a single park bench made of dark metal and wood faces away toward a low, modern building with broad glass panels reflecting a pale sky. A lone bicycle leans against a lamppost to one side, casting a faint, elongated shadow under the soft bluish pre-sunrise light. The atmosphere is quietly cinematic and contemplative, evoking themes of space, solitude, and daily routines without any visible people. Photographic realism, wide-angle lens at eye level, deep depth of field to keep every stone and reflection crisp, with a minimalist, sophisticated color palette of greys, blues, and subtle warm accents from distant windows.

Trabajar con él fue descubrir una mirada paciente y precisa; entregó imágenes que cuentan historias y respetan la dignidad de quienes aparecen.

An aerial view of a dense urban block at dusk, captured from a rooftop, focusing on geometric rooftops, water tanks, laundry lines, and improvised terraces instead of people. The cityscape is a mosaic of concrete, brick, and corrugated metal, with subtle patches of rooftop gardens and scattered chairs and tables suggesting human presence. The last cool-blue ambient light of day mingles with warm sodium streetlights rising from below, creating a nuanced contrast of colors. Fine atmospheric haze softens distant buildings, adding depth. The mood is observant and reflective, conveying everyday life and identity through architecture and objects alone. Photographic realism, composed with a strong sense of grid-like structure and leading lines, moderate depth of field ensuring clarity across most of the frame.

Su fotografía combina observación y empatía, creando un relato visual sólido que funciona tanto en exposición como en edición de proyecto.

A meticulously organized personal desk by a large window in a small apartment: a closed laptop, a vintage 35mm film camera, scattered contact sheets with frame markings, and a ceramic mug bearing faint coffee rings on the wood surface. Outside the slightly dusty glass, only the blurred shapes of surrounding buildings and cables are visible, emphasizing interior space. Soft overcast daylight seeps through, creating gentle, uniform illumination with very subtle shadows and reflections on the desk. The mood is calm and introspective, suggesting a photographer’s daily workspace and process. Photographic realism with a quiet, sophisticated palette of neutrals and soft browns, framed from a slightly elevated angle, using the rule of thirds and a shallow depth of field that keeps the desk objects sharp while the exterior city fades into abstract bokeh.
