I became enthralled with photography at a very young age, mesmerized by my grandfather's collection of National Geographic magazines. Since then, I've been looking at the world as though my eyes were a camara. I didn't have the resources to buy a fancy camera until I was 16, and even then, couldn't afford the film and developing photos to take as many photos as I wanted! Later, with the digital revolution, I began exploring what I had been hoping to capture for years. 

 

In 2005, I self-published my first photography book, Puerto Rico Encanto Oculto. A book that captured the most amazing and beautiful destinations of my country of origin. I was blessed to have the book become a best-seller in the island that year. Many of my photos have been featured in various magazines, including Bespoke and Mangrove.

 

In 2013, I ventured into moving images, producing Insider's Guide to Puerto Rico, a deeper look at Puerto Rico, in video format. In 2015, I released my short documentary Beyoutiful, available to watch online. 

 

Currently, I live near Atlanta, GA, where I offer my photography services. My passion for photography continues growing each day and I look for ways to capture the beauty all around me.
