About me
I'm a bilingual freelance photographer currently based in London. I began exploring my passion for photography professionally whilst studying my BA in Multidisciplinary Design in Madrid and Rome. All the while, exploring new ways to innovate through my photography, a practice which I continue improving to this day. My work focuses on fashion, portrait and editorial photography; some of which has been featured in magazines such as Vogue Spain and New Wave Magazine. I am currently experimenting with analog editing techniques, photography scanning and 'recolouring' through the use of a desktop printer. Furthermore, I have recently began to photograph with an old Polaroid 600 camera, elevating my work and introducing a new format to my future commissions and collaborations. Feel free to reach out if you're looking for a freelance photographer for your next editorial, fashion campaign or portrait series. Get in touch via email, phone number and The Dots!

Projects
  • Mixed media collages (Personal project, 2021  - ongoing)
    Mixed media collages (Personal project, 2021 - ongoing)Ever since I started experimenting with mixed media at university, I’ve been making these collages to practice with composition, colour, contrasts and techniques. These are a few examples, which I made using scanned magazine cut-outs edited and composed on Photoshop. This allowed me to have more freedom to play with shapes, sizes and layer blending.
  • OTOSU.22 - New Zanami Collection
    OTOSU.22 - New Zanami CollectionI recently worked as a photographer, light designer, photo retoucher and colorist for Zanami's new OTOSU.22 collection. I was called by Angela Garcia, the brand's creative director, because of my expertise in colour composition and personal photographic style, which were relevant to the type of campaign they wanted to create. This editorial has been featured in: - Deké Magazine, an independent arts publication. - Zanami's website and e-shop. Creative direction: Carlos Moreno, Angela Garcia. Mo
