Photography started as a hobby for me, gaining momentum over the years. After completing some projects in Argentina, I applied for a photographer position at NCL - Norwegian Cruise Lines, where I worked for 3 years and quickly advanced to Photo Manager. In 2017, I moved to New Zealand and secured a position as a Birth and Family Photographer for another 3 years. During this time, I covered a wide range of photoshoots, including maternity, births, weddings, and events. I'm currently a freelance photographer known for my journalistic approach to capturing people and moments. I prioritize candidness and spontaneity over posed and pre-arranged shots.
