TELL US ABOUT YOUR WORK, YOUR PASSION FOR PHOTOGRAPHY, AND WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO CONTINUE TO CREATE?
My work is art inspired. I consider myself as an artist that goes from designing the photograph, building props as small sculptures and crafting the sets. I am passionta of visual communication and the poetic way of conveying a message. I believe that to crete is one of my passions and I found photography as the final step of my illustrative creations.
IF YOU COULD MEET AND CHAT WITH ONE FAMOUS PHOTOGRAPHER, WHO WOULD THAT BE AND WHY?
Luckily I had the opportunity to meet a photographer I admire, and that inspired me to make the transition from retail to commercial photographer. She showed me that arts and crafts could be incorporated as an artist process in a commercial field. I dared to call her to ask for advice regarding the school I wanted to go to in Madrid. She did respond! We exchanged some emails, and we met at one of her presentations. It was amazing to see how reachable she is and how we could fluently have a conversation.
WHAT IS ONE GOAL YOU HAVE FOR YOURSELF IN THE NEXT YEAR?
Move to Europe and keep helping brands, people, and companies establish a visual statement with one-of-a-kind campaigns, photo illustrations, and stop motions
