¿Qué amas de tu trabajo?

I love many thing about my job. The fact That I chose it, and that I only need a "capture device" (camera) and any source of light to create images allowing me to freeze a moment in space and time, and enjoy it for future generations! I also enjoy being able to "see light" and how it travels ...How interacts with everything creating different densities of shadows or upbringing all sorts of textures. I really enjoy all kinds of scenarios (paid or personal projects). With people, products, events, sports or walking at night on city streets looking for night urban shots.

¿Qué tipos de sesiones has hecho y cómo las hiciste especiales?

Well ...I have hundreds of stories, literally. I have done the new born, 1st year, 5 year, 1st comunion, 8th grade grad, 15 bday, seniors pics and college grad of one same girl, and many similar cases. I am doing the weddings of many children I have photograph since they can remember! and I have done 6 kids of the kids.
My pictures in all their walls, still to this date. I feel very special.

Un dato curioso sobre este fotógrafo

When hurricane Maria stroke my Island (Puerto Rico) 2017, I was visiting friends in Orlando, Fl. I couldn't go back home for a year! So I applied to Disney as a photographer, and guess what?? I got the job! and a real good one. I was in the Fine Art & Private portrait department. (Not sweating on the park taking pictures for regular attendees with bracelets).
The Initiation/Basic training, after giving your set of "Mickey's Ears", they make you swear you won't reveal Disneys secrets! I never have or will...
It was quite an experience photographing huge conventions, all the disney characters perfectly dressed in front of me acting their roles.
One of my best memories doing wedding portraits in front of the Castle at sunrise. Our call at headquarters was at 4am. In official cars we picked up bride and groom at the Hotel (Inside Disney) and drove at night in the park(closed to public, but many workers finishing cleaning), and the magical part is when the sun comes out and all the birds, and living creatures that live in that ecosystem, start making their natural noises and everything turns to life!!
It was quite an experience being able to walk backstage disney, mostly everywhere just by having an official badge hanging on my neck!
I could enter all the parks with my thumbs fingerprint.
