Biography: I work using traditional tools and methods dating from the late 1800's to modern digital.
Wet plate collodion and film produce both negatives and positives that I use for a number of historic and/or alternative printing processes. My cameras are large format that range from 2X3 to 10X20; circa mid-1800 to modern, some I made my self.
I make my living on the sale of my prints so if you see something that grabs you, send me an email and I will be glad to answer any questions you may have.
Due to the “hand made” nature of my print making no two prints are identical.
I began creating photographs in Mexico City when I was ten years old and have had a passion for photography ever since. As a small boy I was intrigued by the photographic process and by my late teens I was honing my craft, attending workshops and working at a small advertising agency. My work was first published while I was working at a Mexico City newspaper, where I also wrote a column about music.
After relocating to Los Angeles, I studied cinematography at Columbia College in Hollywood, California and ventured into the area of celebrity photography. My images were published in various magazines including Time, Hola, and Figaro. I subsequently continued my photography studies and earned a certificate in Graphic Design with a specialization in Digital Imaging.
After earning my certificate, I produced a wide range of work in the areas of portraiture, editorial, social, and event photography, developing a particular interest in both still life and environmental portraiture.
I am currently living and pursuing my photographic work in Santa Fe, NM.
My work has gained recognition in 2009 at The International Photography Awards (IPA) Honorable Mention 2008 The Pilsner Urquell International Photography Awards (IPA) Honorable Mentions in the categories of Fine Art Nude and Fine Art Portraiture. 2007 The International Photography Awards (IPA) Honorable Mentions
