Art Director · Photographer · Jr. Videographer · Photo Editor · Graphic Designer
It all started when I was very young. I realized we all have the power to create amazing things.
I started drawing and illustrating scenes I saw in my mind, people used to ask me to draw for them. Few years later, a good friend gifted me which would become my first non-compact camera. One thing led to another and soon photography and graphic design became my true passions.
After finishing a degree on English Studies, I felt brave enough to start studying Graphic Design -specialized in advertising- at the School of Arts of Zaragoza and, later, Fashion & Lifestyle Photography at IED Master in Madrid.
Since then, I gained experience in the fashion industry as a photographer, digital retoucher and graphic designer. In my free time I like taking courses on professional retouching, product/editorial/fashion/beauty photography, studio and mixed lighting techniques, social media management, web design, 3D design, etc. This extra knowledge, together with the professional experience I gathered since 2010, allowed me to take my next step.
In April 2019 I moved to Tokyo where I started working as a freelance photographer and retoucher for a bit more than a year. One year later I was hired as an Art Director at a Japanese company.
