I’m a fashion and editorial photographer from Bogotá based in Zurich. In my photography, I’m keen on capturing beauty and working with naturalism, often finding that authenticity overcomes perfection. I love creating almost final images directly on set, in real life, on analog film, where the photo becomes an image and exists beyond a screen or simple content.

Long before I graduated in photography and design from the F+F in Zurich in 2024, I fell in love with images. Slowly, it has become 10 years of experience on major commercial projects for Swiss and international brands, magazines and institutions. In them, I aim to bring ideas to life through creative collaborations. My focus is on creating result-driven imagery and visual narratives that spark true emotion and stand the test of time.

In my fine art photography, I document the beauty around me, discovered through slow appreciation and the lens, creating images that take people to places and tell stories. I maintain my naturalistic approach working across film, staging, and creative styling.

If you would like to know more about me, the studio, or discuss a bespoke editorial project, don’t hesitate to reach out.
