Photography came into my life the way many precious things do — by chance. One day, my sister left an old Soviet camera on my bed. I looked through the viewfinder and the world looked back at me. Raw, still, quiet. And I was hooked.
My background in physics helped me understand the technical side. But that wasn’t what kept me going. It was the way photography let me speak without words — like writing with light instead of ink. Over time, and with a lot of conversations with my dear friends Nacho and Diego, I started to see visual language as a space for reflection, not just aesthetics.
I shot my first conscious photos on film in the ’90s. I later tried digital, but my heart never left the halides. These days I use both — not out of loyalty to one or the other, but because I follow the image, not the medium. It’s the idea that matters. The story. The feeling.
My fiction writing influences this too. When I create photographer characters, I borrow their eyes for a while. I become them, see as they would. Each frame becomes a little fragment of their world — and of mine.
Photo gallery
This space is where I share my way of looking. Light, texture, shadow. Silence. These images aren’t just to be seen — they’re to be felt, if you want.
Black and White
Forms. Facades. Absence and presence. In black and white, things strip themselves bare. These photos catch light mid-thought — they’re quiet and sharp and timeless.
Abstractions
These images are not what they seem. Or maybe they are. I let patterns, textures, and nature’s strange geometry tell their own story. This is where I let imagination lead.
Chemical Photography
This is where I slow down. Film photography reminds me to be present. To wait. To breathe. There’s something ceremonial about it — the light, the process, the darkroom. Every frame holds time in it, like a pressed flower.
Final note
You can press the shutter all you want and call yourself a photographer. But if you’re shooting in full auto, your camera is the one doing the seeing — not you. Just think about that next time you ask for royalties.
