I've been fascinated with photography ever since I was given a Kodak Fiesta camera for my 4th or 5th birthday.

My first photos were of dogs and trees that I would find near my family's cottage where I grew up in Argentina. A couple years later I was making my first forays into the world of pre-teen still-life photography, shooting open suitcases among other "dramatic" inanimate things.

In 1987 I enrolled in my first serious photography class with a borrowed camera, and won two awards at graduation. I didn't know it then but my winning images would set the blueprint for the kind of photography I focus on today.

In 1991 I bought my first camera (a Nikon 4004s that I still own) and started expanding my horizons until I made the jump to digital in 2007. A few years ago, I realized that there was a desire for fine-art photographs, and I've been shooting and selling my work ever since.

Despite the commercial aspect of the art, photography was and still is a way for me to connect with myself (and disconnect from everything else). Time has helped me develop my stylistic niche. I've never felt the need to create imagery that's unique, but I think some sort of uniqueness has found its way to me regardless – I consider myself very lucky for that.

I occasionally still shoot dogs and trees.


My photography has been used or published by National Geographic Society, Rhubarb Magazine, American Museum of Natural History and  Smithsonian Magazine, among other notable organizations and publications.

Selected fine-art photos are on display at the Fishfly Art Gallery in Winnipeg Beach, Manitoba and at Poor Michael's Bookshop in Onanole, Manitoba. Some pieces also available for licensing through Getty Images and most are available for purchase or licensing directly through me – please click here.
