Born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia I studied Finance, Government and International Relations and received my B.A from Universidad Externado de Colombia in 2001. I moved to NYC in 2003 and found a position in a CPG company managing the supply chain, business analysis, and all day-to-day e-commerce operations. I’ve held other positions in Project Management which led me to pursue an MBA.

I discovered photography at a very early age using my father’s Minolta. I still feel proud of a photo I took with it of my mother, mid-air, while she was jumping over a small creek. My dad isn’t here anymore and my mom can’t jump, I remember that every time I take a picture: that image is not what is, that image “was”. The photo is the past.

I started developing film in High School and switched to digital once in the US. I studied advanced lighting techniques at the International Center of Photography under the mentorship of Robert Meyer.

I studied classical guitar at Universidad Javeriana and I’m an absolute Argentine Tango nerd and event organizer (I host a tango practice named after a rescued dog) every Thursday in Manhattan. I’m especially moved by Mila.
