… to get to who I am today. I’ve been working as a commercial photographer for 10+ years. On the way here, there was a stint in Culinary Art School, 4+ years of working in wildlife conservation, 5 years of expeditions to Chile's most remote places to capture majestic landscapes, and founding Latin America's first landscape fine-art photography gallery.

My first camera was gifted to me in Paris. When I was 15 I wanted to go to the FIFA World Cup. It was happening in France that year. My mom convinced the school principal that I’d learn more living in France for a semester than in school. So off I went. I worked as an au-pair, learned how to speak fluent French - and… I got my first camera! It was a gift from a dear friend. While this camera marked the start of my life with a camera in my hand/pocket/bag, my road to professional photography was a winding one.

All these experiences led me to the work I've been doing for the past 10 years, commercial photography for brands across the world. I've recently shot campaign stills for Heineken, Booking.com, Citibank, Redbull, Armani, Apple, Santander and PNC bank amongst others.

From culinary art school to a degree and years of working in eco tourism and conservation to photography.
I ventured to China to work in panda conservation, I ended up managing a bar, The Sexy Tractor. I saved up enough cash to get my first digital camera. Soon after I landed my first gig in the waters of Australia...
I began telling stories through my photography. Travelling across the globe to connect with - and capture - humans. I published my first book, Black Tea in 2010. In the following years I was commissioned to work on photographic books.
In 2015, I founded Close-Up Chile, a first-of-its-kind landscape photography gallery in Latin America - and I learned a lot!
