Hello, I am a full-time photographer and retoucher. I have specific experience in product photography, portraits and all types of retouching. I work in the commercial photography industry as well as with individual clients for images of personal use. I love capturing special moments for people such as surprise proposals or city hall weddings or just helping bring out your best smile in a corporate headshot! I have also done a lot of product photography for many small businesses in many industries such as beauty, fashion, food, technology, jewelry and more. Some examples of the commercial photography work I have done is retouching for JB Star fine jewelry, Splits 59, Axel Arigato, Blue Nile, etc... I also work with individuals to retouch their headshots, wedding photos and family portraits by removing lint/stains on clothing, reducing age spots and wrinkles, eliminating blemishes, whitening teeth, removing flyaway hairs, adding a missing family member to a group photo and more. Please reach out with any photographic needs and I will be happy to let you know if the project is within my skillset and give you a quote. Thanks! ***Please note the hourly price reflected on my profile is an average of my rates depending what type of work I am doing. I charge different hourly rates for different types of work so it might be more or less than what is listed on my profile. I retain full ownership/usage rights on all images I create unless otherwise discussed beforehand.

I’m a New York City–based photographer and multidisciplinary creative specializing in portrait, product, event, hospitality, and brand photography. Originally from Mexico City, I studied Communication Design at Parsons School of Design and have spent the past decade living and working in NYC, collaborating with brands, restaurants, startups, creative agencies, and independent clients to create visually refined imagery with a strong sense of storytelling. My work ranges from clean studio product photography and white-background e-commerce imagery to cinematic portraits, corporate headshots, restaurant and food photography, branded lifestyle campaigns, and live event coverage. I’m experienced working both in controlled studio environments and on-location shoots throughout New York, always adapting the visual approach to match the identity and goals of each client. I’ve worked with hospitality brands, technology companies, fashion and lifestyle projects, corporate clients, and creative teams, handling everything from lighting and creative direction to retouching and final delivery. Whether the goal is polished commercial content, authentic documentary-style coverage, or elevated editorial imagery, I focus on creating photographs that feel intentional, professional, and visually distinctive. In addition to photography, my background in design gives me a strong understanding of branding, composition, color, and how imagery functions across websites, social media, advertising, and print. Available for: • Portraits & Headshots • Product & E-Commerce Photography • Fashion & Lifestyle Photography • Food & Restaurant Photography • Corporate & Networking Events • Brand Campaigns & Creative Content • Studio & On-Location Shoots • Creative Direction & Visual Storytelling Based in New York City and available for projects throughout NYC, Brooklyn, Queens, New Jersey, and beyond.
