My first encounter with photography was in a darkroom. I must have been four or five years old, I was experimenting with “photogenic drawings” in a creativity workshop. That is one of my oldest memories, one that is not built on the family album. I don´t know what happened to dose photograms, but they left the mark of fascination on me.

​

​When I photograph, my motivation is, most often, documentary. The common factor in the different ways I relate to photography is the search for being more present when I shoot. The limited amount of exposures when working with silver gelatin process, and the restrictions or conditioning of working with damaged equipment have proved to a blessing.

​

I will blame photography for making me ask the most innocent, deep and overwhelming question: what is light? I have been trying to answer myself that question for the past 10 years in the most varied ways, mainly through research projects on informal learning of science, and scientific dissemination through art.

I was born in Buenos Aires in 1971. I live in Quito since 1999. I am a photographer and short-film maker. I have been a teacher, culture manager and curator for the past twenty years. I work on photography, film, editorial and exhibit design assignments.
