I started photography in 1976 at age 19 with a film camera and self-taught. I learned to print in the darkroom, developing film and printing in black and white. Subsequently, for about twenty years, I dedicated myself to wedding photography services until eight years ago I started dedicating myself to a different gender with intent to create something that could satisfy me on an emotional level. The passion shifts to current social and documentary themes.
