ABOUT ME

BACKGROUND, PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE AND THOUGHTS

Born in Palencia, Spain in November 1980.

​

Rebellious teen, willing to learn and experiment, crazy for fashion, cool, observant, and very perfectionist.

​

Studies in Image Consultancy, Beauty. Graduated in Fashion Design and Tailoring.

​

I worked as a designer for some important brands in the past, as a pattern maker in a small clothing atelier with exclusive customers, on my own fashion brand and as a personal shopper but in 2011, I decided to make a big change.

 

I moved to London.

​

After a great and cool GAP year, I got a job as a part-time sales assistant up to reaching the role of deputy manager years later.

​

Simultaneously, I started to organise photoshoots with fashion teams as a creative director and stylist and one day I decided to learn photography on my own. I built a basic studio in my apartment and started to practice with myself.

​

I found in photography a new way of artistic expression.

You can discover my experiments, my evolution, and some of my thoughts in my photo galleries on this website.

​

My new hobby was going well. I decided to bet on it and quit my full-time job to invest more time doing what I liked.

Social media helped to get my first customers interested in my pictures.

I created a bigger studio fully equipped to make better pictures and I did some modeling jobs for other great photographers too.

Also, I started to sell online my clothing on Vinted, Etsy, and vintage markets.

​

I love customer service, fashion, photography, and creativity.

​

I registered my profile in several agencies to work as a supporting artist in cinema.

Again, a fantastic new discovery that I loved since I stepped into a cinema set in 2016.

​

I got an extended list of jobs working as an SA in remarkable films, TV series, and commercials, many of them featured.

I had the chance to work as a stand-in and double and I had the opportunity to work on some spoken roles for awarded festival films.

​

After ten years of wonderful living in London the pandemic and the lockdown gave me the opportunity to get a new vision in 2020.

​

I found a fantastic warehouse based in Hackney Wick to create a fantastic photography studio from scratch so I focused all my energy on building a creative place where I can work, live and rent.

​

I am not shooting myself lately but I do to other people. Anyway, I will be back!!

​

If you are one of my customers or guests, thanks for everything.

​

Thanks for reading.

​

Best wishes,

​
