I'm a London-based photographer working with a mindful and artistic approach. From documentary and portraiture, to architecture and travel, I create thoughtful and meaningful images, highlighting the subtle and the unexpected, with an emphasis on narrative.
My work has been published in books and magazines such as The British Journal of Photography, The Telegraph Luxury Magazine, The Times, AD Magazine, House and Garden and GQ Magazine.
Aside from my editorial and commercial work, I carry out personal photography projects exploring the concept of connection: between people, the environment, and ourselves, raising questions about values such as empathy, respect and spirituality.
My projects have been displayed in Museums, Galleries and International Photography Festivals including The Mediterranean Museum in Spain, The Hoxton Gallery and The Manchester Contemporary in the UK, amongst others. You can also find my Silver Gelatin Prints in public and private photography collections.
As a photography teacher and mentor, I have shared my knowledge and experience in schools such as Lycée Français Charles De Gaulle and Kings College in London. I have also participated as a panelist at Photography Festivals, most recently at RevelaT in Barcelona. Currently, I deliver mentoring programs, both in English and Spanish, in-person in London and online.
Before my career as a photographer, I worked for over ten years in the field of architecture as a Project Manager. Naturally very calm and organised, as a photographer, this background helps me to manage challenging commissions through a combination of efficient workflow and interpersonal skills.

On this day the seed was planted for football to become the most popular game in the entire world, capable of creating intense feelings, and driving people crazy. The match took place in London, in a venue called “The Oval”. But football is more than just a mainstream sport, I experience football as a universal language, that
- PureI have lived most of my life between the busy capital cities of London and Madrid, where in spite of full agendas, a permanent nagging feeling of 'missing something' persists. Instinctively, over the last eight years, I've been drawn to photograph people with a different approach to life - calmer and more present. I noticed that photography was helping me to slow down and embrace the sense of peace embodied by people simply "doing nothing". Using a medium format camera and working with film fo

Residence for photographic creation and experimentation.RevelaT - Contemporary analog photography festival
Over the artistic residency, I created the project "In praise of generosity" as a tribute to the town of Vilassar de Dalt, (Barcelona) and its people who, with determination and passion, created the analog photography festival RevelaT in 2012.
The project showed a collection of intimate portraits of the volunteers in the heart of the festival: Cal Galbart, an abandoned old factory, in dialogue with minimal urban landscapes of the town.+ Show more
