About this pro
I've raised new photographers in the last 15 years in Colombia and recently in Miami. I'm interested in teach because I’ve been immersed in the academic world since I was living in Colombia.
I have 27 years working as professional photographer in studio and I’m qualified for this job because of my experience and I know how to spread my knowledge.
The experience has taught me to explain some ways to do better things and how construct with each one a new way, a new creation.
Long time ago decided to share my skills and it was a charming experience that I still enjoying a lot leading me to realize my vocation.
My whole life I’ve involved with education and stimulate minds because I feel an enormous cultural responsibility to let a truly legacy as artist and as human being.
My curiosity has not limits, specially when the subject is the light and that’s why my soap bubbles photographs are well known around the world specially by scientist in optic matters.
That way the students will awake in the magic world of photography.
I had the opportunity of live the analog photography, cameras and black and white lab and the transformation provided by the Digital Age.
