A self-taught photographer, he began at a young age with a Kodak bellows camera and his father’s old Leica with a broken lens. At that age, he bought photography books by photographer Bob Borovic and other authors to learn their techniques. Around 19, he got his first reflex camera, a Russian ZENITH, and “slowly” got involved in photography courses at the “Chilean School of Tourism”, learning the basic technique, composition and development. Photography has always been a passion and at the age of 19-20, he sold framed posters of black and white photos of newborns and children door to door. Then his university years studying engineering forced him to put the activity aside. (He was told: It’s no good being an artist, you have to be a professional). His photographic work has always been very personal and austere. Shared only with those close to him and always far from cutting-edge technologies. At 54 he also started painting, finding it quite easy given his highly trained photographic eye. A professional in the area of ​​Information Technology (IT) and a Master in Management Administration and Finance, his career has seen him as an employee, boss, manager, businessman and today, at 65 and retired, he continues to work as an engineer for a FINTECH company and maintains a personal entrepreneurship in the field of arts (Online sale of items for painters and weavers). In 2020, due to the pandemic, he began to publish his photos on Instagram, participated and won the photography competition at the Art Biennial of “Visuales Pinar” in Pinar del Río, Cuba. He has exhibited his images for two exhibitions at the oldest photography school in Chile: “FOTOARTE”. Numerous awards from various media channels.
