Born in 1987 in Mexico City and raised between cameras and airplane tickets by diplomat parents. Always in love with photography and travel. At the age of 15, his family moved to Kenya and it was during this life changing experience that he decided he wanted to capture and show the essence and the contrasts of the different worlds he had experienced. During this time, he became deeply involved with documentary photography projects, focusing mainly on the African culture and people. In the year 2006 he started a Mass Media degree in the University of Malaga in Spain. After one year, he was tremendously disappointed by media manipulation and in 2007 he decided to start a degree in Fine Arts in the University of Granada, which opened his eyes to the multiple ways of expression and freedom through arts. At the moment, he is doing an exchange year in the Saimaa University of Applied Sciences in Finland and stands somewhere in between art and documentary photography.
