An advertisement as a model hahaha

How do you define yourself as a photographer?

Creative

What do you remember about your first job as a photographer?

It was a collaboration with a brand. I spent the day taking pictures for pleasure without looking for anything. I remember freaking out with my first salary for doing something I loved.

Peter Lindberg, Todd Hido, Diane Arbus, among many others?

Tell us about your latest project

I’m experimenting with still photography on several shoots and I’m loving it!

What advice would you give to someone who wants to get started in the world of photography?

That sometimes results can take a long time to come but keep taking pictures and learning every day. Patience.

What advice would you have liked to have been given?

Despite the internal insecurities that sometimes surface, always believe in yourself and your intuition (they gave me the advice, that’s why) 🙂

What is the work you are most proud of and why?

I’m proud of all of them, but I really enjoyed the Bruma Ceramics project.

Where do you think the sector is evolving?

For my taste there is an overload of information and images, so we must be faithful to our principles and our essence to show what is most real about us.
