About

The foundation of the mind's eye is the starting point of it all.

I was born in Guatemala and take great pride in my Garifuna heritage, which has shaped my perspective as a photographer. My journey behind the lens began with a passion for capturing the beauty and diversity of the world around me. Over the years, I’ve refined my craft to focus on creating striking, memorable images that tell powerful stories.

My work is deeply rooted in the traditions and vibrant culture that I come from, and each photograph I take is a testament to my commitment to authenticity and artistry. I see the world in black and white, but I choose to photograph in color to showcase the vibrancy and depth of life’s moments.

Black-and-white street photography is at the core of what I do—it’s about capturing a moment that can never be reclaimed and preserving it faithfully. My work often reflects themes of resilience, survival, and the discovery of grace in the midst of adversity. Music, especially soul music and the blues, plays a huge role in my creative process. I’ve always felt a connection between the music I love and the photography I create. In both, I’m working with light, shadows, and emotions to capture that perfect moment. To put it simply, 

”These pieces are the soundtrack  
 of my life”.
