I was born in 1969 in Havana, Cuba and began making photographs as a child. My father, a professional photographer, brought me to shoots and the darkroom, teaching me every aspect of the process of making a photograph. During my teenager years, I worked as a photographer in several photo studios in Havana. I started as a photographer’s assistant and then worked as a professional photographer. Immediately after high school I began working for the Cuban Navy as a photographer documenting military maneuvers across Cuba. In 1989, I was admitted as a photography student to the highly competitive Instituto Superior de Arte, Cuba’s most prestigious art university. I started making short films and eventually switched my major to Motion Picture Directing. I graduated in 1994 with offers to direct some of the island’s top talent. I continue to photograph everything around me hoping to communicate my vision to those who like my work. I'm commercially represented in the US by S:B Reps and in Mexic
