I've been holding a camera for as long as I can remember. Born in the coastal city of Manta, Ecuador, surrounded by the beauty of the blue Pacific Ocean and orange sunsets, my journey with photography began in a place where beauty is everywhere.

I wish I could tell you there was a single moment when I discovered my passion for photography, but the truth is, photography found me at a very young age. It was love at first click, a connection that’s been with me since childhood.

I never planned to turn this passion into a career. I was on the path to becoming an attorney, but in 2005, I decided to follow my heart instead of the expectations society had set for me. I chose to seek purpose, and in doing so, I found the magic in capturing moments.

I then moved to the United States, to the beautiful city of Miami, which is now my home and playground. The journey hasn’t been easy. The artistic life demands commitment, and it isn’t always recognized or financially rewarding. But I thrive on the endless desire to explore, meet new people, and experience life in all its unique forms to the fullest.

Photography, to me, is more than just taking pictures. It’s about capturing the essence of a moment, the happiness, the sadness, the authenticity of being yourself or anyone you want to be.

Life is ever-changing and challenging, but with my head in the clouds and my feet on the ground, I've learned to cherish and be grateful for the small moments. The ones that make life beautiful and unique.
