About Me
Freelance Image based artist, cinematographer and director based in Spain.
Born in Madrid just a few months before the fall of the Berlin Wall, grew interested in arts. Quitted Psychology at university after developing a love and passion for photography. That led to an upper degree on Image where discovered the world of the darkroom and traditional photography, while getting interested in lighting for motion and still images. And so enrolled in ECAM, Madrid Film School. Presently works both mediums, still and moving.
