About me
I used to take photos regularly: of landscapes while I traveled, of my pets, of any subject that would capture my attention.
As time passed by, many of those photos have been discarded, either because the photo developing did not last and the images faded – I had Kodak 35mm, and used different film brands: Kodak, Fuji (loved this one), any brand that would be available and at an affordable price – or the photo initially considered as the greatest ever taken, well… it was not.
So I began in 2009 to study photography to improve my technique, this time with a Pentax point and shoot, until I got my first reflex on 2010 thanks to a job I was hired for.
Today, I´m still learning and I still take photos of any subject my eyes are driven to. This skill makes me very flexible at the time of shooting a variety of themes, as I can easily adapt to the requeriments of a given task: from sporting events to visual merchandising photos, street photography, nature, architecture, or pets.
If you spend time checking my galleries, you can get a grasp of the type of photography I shoot, and in case of being interested in a photo shooting session, feel free to drope me a line, along with a description of your requirements.
Skills
