My relationship with photography is based on two very generic and main principles that also move me. The first refers to memory, photography as a way to remember. It is a fundamental principle that I think is in the general photographic concept. The second refers to knowing. I know through what I see. This makes me feel that I am not here just to pass by for a brief space of time. When I take photos, I feel that I better understand my surroundings. I isolate what is important and focus on it. Photography allows me to have the feeling of giving value to something and, therefore, to myself as part of the world. This consolation, this sense of redemption, is embodied in each image. It gives the idea of transcending the everyday, the day-to-day routine, the superficial of everything around me. Of course, each picture that I take is a position, a point of view. After all, it is my way of looking for better or for worse. There are no gadgets; there are no intermediaries; there is only emotion. Often, while I am with other people, I take photos, and they tell me that it seems that they have not been in the same places as me. In the end, this is the wonder of photography, the magic of showing what someone sees. That way of seeing, that way at the end of being, is for me the photography. It s a way of feeling and presenting yourself to others. For me, it is the closest thing to the feeling of being alive.

About
I’m from Seville, and I was born in 1969. I studied for an Image Degree at the University of Seville (Spain). Later I took a one year course to get the specialization in Multimedia. During these years, I already worked mainly in the media as a journalist, presenter or photographer on radio and television shows. During my first professional years, I worked as a graphic designer and finally as a coordinator of communication projects, an activity that I developed until the end of 2020. I have never stopped taking photos, and I have taken many photography courses, although much of my training has been self-taught. Currently, I am a freelance photographer and entrepreneur, while I am dedicated to developing more personal and artistic photographic projects. I am interested in experimental photography, mixing different techniques, and also portraits and documentary photography. Currently researching, working for different assignments and creating.
