Documentary photographer based in Málaga, Spain

Welcome to my lens's view of the world. I'm a documentary and street photographer with a deep-seated fascination for capturing the essence of people and the candid moments of daily life. My journey with a camera began back in 2014, though it briefly paused, only to be rekindled with renewed passion upon my move to Spain in 2021. This new chapter in my life has been a rich source of inspiration, allowing me to delve deeper into the stories that unfold in the streets and the vibrant tapestry of events that color everyday life.

Through my photography, I aim to offer a fresh perspective on familiar scenes, shedding light on the overlooked beauty and inherent narrative of daily existence. My quest often takes me to the less trodden paths, from bustling markets in hidden corners of the city to serene landscapes in undiscovered towns. These journeys are not just about capturing moments but about documenting the authenticity and soul of each place.

Inspiration comes from various quarters, but notably from the works of street and documentary photographers like Sam Stone and Lisa Bukreyeva and the masterful compositions of Alex Webb, Max Sturgeon, Valeria Tofanelli, and Lorenzo Catena. Their unique visions and storytelling prowess have guided my photographic exploration, encouraging me to push boundaries and explore the depth of visual narrative.

Photography is more than a profession or hobby; it's a means of connection, a way to document the world's ever-changing story. Through my work, I hope you'll find new ways to see the world, discover beauty in the mundane, and appreciate the extraordinary moments of ordinary life.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the journey through my eyes.
