Photography is my passion. There is no other way to describe it though it may sound simple and wasted. As a child I started looking with curiosity and anxiety the black and white prints my great grand uncle had once taken. His work awoke on me the urge to go out and record the world just I saw it.

That eagerness never stopped. That’s why, in 1999, I began to study at the Professional Communications and Art Institute (ARCOS). Two years later I got a chance to start as an assistant photographer in “Paula”, one of the top fashion magazines in Chile, recognized by its photographic work. I got there willing to learn and it worked, because a few months later I scaled to photographer.

The experience of working in editorial photography has been enriching, but I have never been able to unleash that coming and going trough the streets with a camera on my shoulder. I’m a documentary photographer who essays (and hopes to achieve) author records and not mere targets; a photographer who lends his eyes and his lens as a vehicle for others to give their own testimony.

It has been my concern to keep learning. In 2004 I took the seminar dictated by the Argentinean photographer Daniel Barraco. In 2005 I earned a scholarship the New Journalism Iberoamerican Foundation grants to take a seminar in photojournalism with Susan Meiselas, sponsored by the Photographic Reporters Association of Argentina (ARGRA).
