I'm a Colombian-American photographer currently based out of Los Angeles. The son of immigrants, I'm very much interested in telling stories about youth, migration, and nostalgia. I also work as a freelance photo researcher, and in the summers, I teach photography workshops with National Geographic.

I'm available for assignments in Southern California and beyond (especially beyond). Hablo Español and English, y a veces both at the same time.
