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.
