About

I’m a professional photo / video journalist born in Mexico City in 1975. Since 2010 I’ve been covering a variety of issues and topics in Southern Asia, Middle East, Northern Africa, Europe and Central America. I focus my work on the humanitarian cost of conflicts, economics and wars. My work intends to contribute to building our visual memory of the world I testify. I do have experience covering the major conflicts for international news agencies such as AP and The New York Times which provides me with the skills to deal successfully with stress and pressure while meeting strict deadlines under the most hazard conditions. I’ve photographed under reported issues like the ethnic war in Myanmar and the forgotten war in Yemen as well as some of the major current events like the political upheavals in Istanbul, the conflict in Gaza, the military coup in Egypt, the war in Syria and the tribal conflict in Libya. My work has been exhibited at galleries, museums and photo festivals in Europe, Asia, USA and Mexico. I’ve contributed to magazines and media outlets around the globe like TIME magazine, The Guardian, The New York Times, Paris Match, RT TV, MSNBC News, AP Associated Press, Los Angeles Times, Foreign Policy, Der Spiegel, Newsweek, Al Jazeera, The Daily Beast, The Sunday Times magazine, The Telegraph, The Washington Post, CNN, Wall Street Journal, LEFT, Vogue, L’Espresso, Expressen, Knack, dS Standaard, Wirtschafts Woche, Corriere della Sera, Internazionale, Aftonbladet among others. I also have contributed for non-governmental organizations like MSF (Doctors Without Borders) and UNHCR. I’m currently photographing the migrants' crisis in North Africa as part of a long-term project of documentation based on the worldwide conceived phenomenon of a "massive human displacement". It’s first chapter “Libya: a human marketplace” documents the human trafficking and slavery network operating in Libya.  2020: Center of Documentary Photography.
