ABOUT ME

I was born in a difficult political and social period of the Argentine Republic, in the year 1969 and the city of Córdoba. At that time we lived in a small tourist town 30 km away from the city. I studied primary school in a local school and then, when I finished primary school, already 12 years old, I changed my residence and went to live in Cordoba, where I could continue my secondary studies in a technical school.

Thats how I discovered my taste, although as time went by, that taste was not exploited, it remained hidden for a long time. In 1990, in the city of Cordoba, I began to study advertising graphic design and publicity in an academy called Mariano Moreno, this was what opened the doors for me and the possibility of working in it, creatively, and to know the use of typography and advertising ideas, marketing strategy, etc. In 1992, I had the opportunity to visit Germany and after some time, I decided to settle down in Munich to start again there with other types of initiatives, and to study something about the language, its culture and its way of life.

I am significantly influencing my life and although at that time I did not have many possibilities to work in the area of graphics and advertising, I always remained interested in the image. In the period 1992-2001 I continued to develop photography as a passion, making several theoretical learnings, developing in darkroom and photographing in artistic form, in monochrome. In 2001, for family reasons, I had to return to Argentina.

This trip led me to abandon photography for a while, and I began to study Web graphic design and the use of HTML and CSS design templates, later achieving several sites for local clients in the city of Córdoba. Over the years I implemented my knowledge of advertising graphic design in the area of posters and graphics for shop windows and businesses. In 2011, due to a financial crisis, I returned to the Republic of Germany and resumed my experiences with photography adding the image in Video. In the same year, I started studying at the Deutsche Pop Akademie to become a cameraman and video editor. Over the years I gained even more experience and understanding in photography and composition, video and editing

I am currently developing work for several clients in Munich, and doing local photo and video exhibitions and writing projects for 2020 and 2021 My vision is focused on experience photography and documentary photography, especially in monochrome. This is where I find my strength and my best personal expression, so I made exhibitions on these subjects.
My vision is focused on the documantation. the street photography and the abstract image or composition. Due to the Covid-19 Crisis I have cancelled a large Photo and Video event planned for the year 2020 or early 2021 a global exhibition or video photo show and eventually other media covering the issue of climate change and forms of consumption in European culture. This project will take place in another period not yet confirmed My goal is to use photography to express my vision about situations that occur around the world and thus bring awareness to the viewer.

My quote is When darkness asked the light to speak it about the world, this one invented photography.
