Soy originario de Chiapas, y crecí en Veracruz, en el sureste de México. En un pueblo ribereño rodeado de mucha vegetación y un cálido mar, es por eso que me fascina la naturaleza y explorar sitios que permitan la observación de la flora y fauna.

I am from Chiapas , I grew up in the southeast of México . I grew up in a wonderful village at the north of Veracruz, surrounded by vegetation and a warm sea. I worked for more than 10 years in the advertising industry and the media , I dedicate some time to social work through an NGO for the promotion of culture and alternative tourism.

Mi especialidad es el sector publicitario y los medios de comunicación, dedico cierto tiempo al trabajo social a través de una ONG para el fomento a la cultura y el turismo alternativo.
Me encanta la fotografía, es un pilar en mi vida, esa oportunidad que nos brinda la cámara para poder compartir el tiempo y el espacio.
Me interesa mucho conocer las diferentes culturas del mundo y poder aprender a través de las personas las tradiciones que les enriquece tanto.

Photography is a necessity in my life, the opportunity to share a piece of time and space with others is amazing. I started at age 14 and now it's a passion that I spend a lot of time, my specialty is the documental photography.

Soy un amante del arte, en todas sus expresiones, puedo estar descubriendo infinitas sensaciones mientras contemplo un cuadro, o escucho una sinfonía, leyendo profundamente, o simplemente apreciando una obra de teatro.

I am a lover of art, in all its expressions, I can be discovering infinite sensations while I contemplate a painting, or listen to a symphony, reading deeply, or simply appreciating a song. All the creations of man made by feelings, are my field of study.
