About me
Photographer, Director of Photography and Creative Director. Born in Patagonia, Argentina. After graduating in Buenos Aires and more than 15 years of wor­king in Spain, I moved to London in 2016. I have worked behind the camera in many countries across Europe and Asia for leading interna­tional brands, magazines and NGOs, and have exhibited in the UK and Spain. I have won awards in advertising festivals in all my working roles; as a Photographer, Director of Photography and Creative Director. In 2011 and 2016 I was selected as a finalist in Descubrimientos PhotoEspaña, out of participants from more than 50 coun­tries. In 2019 I was shorlisted by The National Portrait Gallery and Martin Parr for the competition ‘Only Human’.

    I have been working in a long term project for BT SPORT the last two years for their brand air identity. I was commissioned to capture the spirit and emotion experienced before encounters. Portraying fans, moments and textures in the surroundings of the stadiums around the UK and Europe (in a wide variety of leagues ranging from the Champions League to the English fourth division). The main focus was football but I also covered rugby, MotoGP, tennis, MMA and hockey. I took pictures and slow motion films.
