I was born and raised in Chicago of Cuban parents. I've been fortunate to have traveled a bit in Spain, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Portugal. I've been doing art for most of my life, photography being the thing I most enjoy. Some of the photographers I admire include Steve McCurry, Helmut Newton, Zena Halloway, Stefan May, and Lois Greenfield, to name just a few.

I've taken pictures for theater and dance, weddings, live music, band promotions, family and children's portraits, and head shots for actors and musicians. Some of the clients I've worked with include:

Remy Bumppo Theater
The Old Town School of Folk Music La Peña Series
Tantalus Theatre Group
Global Explorers (Board Member, Secretary, and Photographer)
Ensemble Español Spanish Dance Theater
Ameba Acrobatic & Aerial Dance
Sara Wookey and Wookey Works (Dance)
ShareWare Chicago Consignment Shop
El Jet Set (Rock en Español musical group)
Angel and the Solar System (Latin Soul musical group)
Read Our Hips Tribal Bellydance Group
Jenene Ravesloot, mixed-media artist

Some of my promotional work has appeared in the Chicago Reader, the Chicago Sun Times, and La Raza newspapers.

I am also currently organizing a photography group called Minimum Exposure Photo Group that is a free photography group for people of all skill levels. You can view the website at www.minimumexposure.net or email me for more information.
