Although my career as a photographer began in 1998, it was not until 2007 when I begin to develop more personal work, I try to explore the interaction between image reality and artificiality. I have held exhibitions in Murcia, Cartagena and Tenerife (Fotonoviembre 2009) in Spain. I have participated in various festivals such as Mucho Mas Mayo (Cartagena, 2010) and my photographs have appeared in various publications and catalogs such as: Social Window, Liverpool Echo, Cinemania, etc.
I have participated in several photography workshops with: Vari Carames (Lugo, 2008), José María Mellado (Madrid, 2008), Chema Madoz (Murcia, 2009), Oscar Molina (Lugo 2009), Juan José Abellán (Murcia, 2010) Victor Molero (Murcia, 2010), Cristina Garcia Rodero (Santander 2010) and photography and journalism seminars (Albarracín, 2008-2009-2010).
I currently combine my work as a photographer and designer in the private sector with the development of my personal work.
