Hello!
Thanks for checking out my life’s work (so far).
Here you’ll get to know a bit more about me and what I do.
I am a freelance photographer based in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
My work is focused on covering social, human rights and environmental issues for international media, and collaborating with Humanitarian Agencies and Ngo’s who work to solve them.
In my 16 years of photography I have worked on personal long term projects in my country, and have covered almost every kind of assignment in the region. This work has been honored with prizes like POY Latam first places in 2013 and 2025 and the Magnum Foundation & NYU Photography and Human Rights Fellowship in 2013.
In 2025 I cofounded Luz de Fondo, a multimedia agency focused on documentoing the work of NGO’s and their impact.
