Hi, I'm an independent filmmaker and photographer located in Mexico. I started my career in 2011 as a video editor and gradually moved to the field achieving a photography degree and working mostly as a cinematographer, editor, and colorist for a bunch of documentary and narrative film projects, those allowed me to travel across the country and abroad earning experience and knowledge through the camera. Along this way, I've been able to be co-funder and nowadays run a creative production company focused on original content for arts, commercial and corporative purposes. I enjoy all of this because I believe it sensitizes, inspires, and helps to share valuable content among people.
