camera Sony A6400, Sony A7IV

My photography journey has three pivotal moments that define my passion and expertise. It all began in middle school when I first picked up a camera and discovered the magic of shutter speed and motion blur by capturing Oreos falling into a glass of milk. In 2019, I elevated my craft by purchasing my first professional camera to create YouTube videos. This marked the start of my documentary journey, where I began sharing my visual stories with family. By 2020, I found joy in capturing anything and everything, reaching a professional level in my work. Today, I'm excited to help you capture your memories and tell your unique story through my lens. Let's create something beautiful together!

Photographer

How did you get started with photography

My father, an art gallery and custom framing business owner, shot with a Canon AE-1 that my brother and I used to fight over when we were children. I can remember countless hours I used to spend with that camera. When I arrived to high school my favorite place was undoubtedly the darkroom where I learned the fundamentals of photography. Developing film was my absolute favorite time of day.

What do you love about your job?

In all my 33 years I have drilled, explored, and exploited crude oil in Texas as Vice President of Operations for Andalucia Oil, an independent oil and gas company. Thereafter, I served as Director of Site Acquisitions for a hotel development company and eventually segued into real estate. Now, in my thirties and having left behind the corporate world; I have learned that like all matters of the heart, you should follow it. I found that photography gives me a sense of joy and accomplishment that trumps all my previous professional experiences.

What are some of your favorite places in Austin to take photographs?

Anywhere that has good light. I believe a good photographer can make an ordinary location extraordinary.
