Where are you from?

I’m from Toluca city, Mexico.

How did you get started as a photographer?

When I was a kid, my grandmother had an analog camera that I got to take pictures with, and I remember feeling excited to discover each image when I was going to develop the images.

How long have you been a photographer for?

At 8-years-old I started taking photographs but began professionally taking photos for my university in 2014. For my first professional photography job I got to photograph a famous painter from Mexico and that photograph was a huge step in my career. I then won several photo contests, the most valuable one for me was: “Mexico in an image”.

What is the most rewarding part of being a photographer?

I love that photography is such a creative process and that you can capture life in an instant.

Where is your favorite location to photograph?

Definitely in nature.

What is your preferred piece of equipment?

I love the Nikon full-frame cameras and I really like to work with luminous lenses like f: 1.4 and fixed lenses.

What is your favorite part about working with Adventure Photos?

I really enjoy taking photos for Adventure Photos. I feel that it is more than a job, it’s a way to enjoy life. And I love meeting people from other countries and working as a team.

What was the most memorable photo session or wedding you have captured?

I fondly remember a session that I had where a client was looking at her photos and began to cry and told me that they were the most beautiful photos that had been taken of her.

How did you begin working with Adventure Photos? What hotel are you currently working at?

How do you make clients less nervous during a shoot?

I try to make friends with my clients beforehand which helps with their nerves and makes them feel more confident and happy.
