Biography

I started photography at a young age photographing my pet birds, I used a point-and-shoot film camera I was given away; not really knowing what I was doing. Many years later, at university, I joined a bird photography group which taught me a wee bit about this wonderful craft; since then, I started to photograph my family events, trips as a student and the periods of my life I lived and worked abroad, where I got bitten by the bug of people photography, being infatuated by the different cultures and ways of life. When I went back to Spain for good I knew I wanted to, somehow, live out of my photography whenever possible, so combining different jobs with my striving wedding photography; I finally could jump into the waters of professionalism as the only way of making my living. Following my passion for people photography as they do, behave, interact, live, ... I found or realised that street photography was the best way to train my skills till it became part of my life, not even thinking about weddings.   The need of capturing time fragments of, mainly, Madrid is more than a passion.
