Climb up on some hill at sunrise. Everybody needs perspective once in a while, and you’ll find it there.

The Would Be ME!
What I believe!
Objects through the lens are more extraordinary than they appear! Let me prove it. Specializing in corporate and editorial portraits, as well as advertisement, commercial, events and industrial photography, I am a storyteller who uses photography to tell your extraordinary story.
At the age of 8 I moved to Spain. As my family was preparing for the trip, I asked a family member if I could have their old camera, as the most natural thing for a traveler would be to have a camera in hand. I wish I could tell you that those images of my arrival to Spain marked the start of a wonderful career, but sadly, that first roll of film stayed in my pant’s pocket all the way through the wash and tumble-dry cycles!
Fast forward to 1981 when I started high school, my neighbor started his home-based black & white dark room where I would spend hours every afternoon in the dark developing film and prints. Beyond high school, I worked as a photographer for a few local newspapers in my home town of Ponce, Puerto Rico as well as for my college newspaper. My career ranged from dark room custom printer for Kodak/Qualex, Quality control for chemicals at Fuji Tru-Color, aerial photographer, college football photographer, as well as a photography studio owner. In July 2000, I was hired as the staff photographer for Siemens-Westinghouse, now known as Siemens-Energy, out of Orlando, Florida where I worked for 21 years as the company grew.
Let's Get To Work!
I have traveled much of the world taking pictures of manufacturing sites, nuclear power plants, wind turbine farms, and of course many corporate and editorial portraits of the executives, employees and events. I have also enjoyed the opportunity to provide corporate photography services for PepsiCo, Siemens, ACA, Siemens Energy and many local businesses, to include Andrew General Contractors, The Eyes Have It Optical, and Paddleboard Orlando.
My work meets and exceeds OSHA and EHS safety standards, and align with the values, and brand standards of the companies I serve and have served. I am not afraid to get dirty or crawl into any space, climb any ladder or hang from a helicopter to complete a photo assignment; I actually embrace the challenge and seek the unique angle to tell the story.
I look forward to being of service to you, or perhaps, spending the day paddling together!
Photography
Having a passion for photography and combining it with being on the water paddling, riding a mountain bike, skateboarding, hiking and camping makes for a highly addicting activity! It started with just wanting to take pictures of every place I visit, friends while camping, playing or having fun while on the water. Photographing those moments combines both passions. Sharing those memories is a privilege.
Interesting Fact
Not only I am a photographer, I am also a certified paddlesports instructor in the state of Florida! It seemed like the perfect way to connect my hobby and have more opportunities to photograph action.
