Through my work, I try to convey emotions and thoughts. Seeking the photographs express how I feel, but also give room for others to interpret my work, so viewers can do my work, his own. My intention is to evoke the memories of each person through my work, so that according to their life experiences, my photographs make you think. Captured moments, which always have two versions, I want to make a
nd also what my audience wants to feel at my work. Trying to make my photographs speak "in a thousand languages." I am a creative artist with experience in various media related to photography such as fashion, film, video and print. I enjoy looking at inner beauty through photography. I use art style in black and white photos all around us (I emphasize the social). Coordinate shades and colors depending on the type of message or photo that I will capture meeting each project or goal that can see through my portfolio. For me, each photograph is a work of art, each person or object "pause" in time has a story to tell. My intention is to capture images of dreams, illusions, perceptions, important moments, finally, to shape the life. Because as said Calderon de la Barca, "life is an illusion, life is a frenzy, that all life is a dream, and dreams remain dreams." My photographs are "tabular shallow" where the unwritten text, has an unlimited extension. As a photographer I hope to be able to impact a greater number of recipients and can see my background, and feel that through the years, I hit with the essence of my photographs, adapting the technique to the times and the message.
