Photographic
Essays
The camera invites me to be connected with the present moment and with the individuals reflected in the lens, whose essence I aim to capture through an image.
Below are a selection of my favorite photos grouped by themes.
Portraits
My aim is to capture the soul or the essence of people when I photograph them. You will see in this gallery some of my attempts at doing so, of creating a connection with the subject.
Colombia
This is my perspective on Colombia, the country that I was born in. My view is unique as it is from the lens of someone who migrated as a teenager to the US. Every time I go back is an opportunity to recharge and reconnect with my roots.
USA
The US has been my home since I turned 13 years old. I can’t say that I am from here, nor that I am from Colombia. That really does not matter, I am a citizen of the world. The American culture has permeated deep inside me and has helped define my identity.
Cuba
My aunt had just given me her Canon SX40, a glorified point-and-shoot that introduced the desire to shoot and what a better place to do it than Havana, Cuba.

Brazil
Rio is one of my favorite cities in the world. I constantly joke and say that in a past life I must have been Brazilian. Whenever I’m there I immerse myself in the culture, inundating my senses with the food, the caipirinhas, the people, Samba, Bossanova, the beach, pão de queijo, soccer, everything!!! give me more.
