He began to take photos as a hobby, delving into the technical aspects of the camera, light and composition until they became a passion, motivating himself to pursue a Diploma of Higher Photography Studies at CIECA, Barquisimeto, Venezuela. He leaves his profession of Lawyer to dedicate himself completely to photography, to the study of photographic language, light and image. 

The documentary image is one of the branches that it develops with agencies, companies and individuals; landscape photography and portraiture continue to be his lines of research and passion, however, the works he carries out are influenced by the light of the pictorial works of romanticism, where more than outlining an aesthetic in his images he tries to leave a meaning that goes beyond what is seen with the naked eye.
