In this page you can find some information about me and about my life experiences, not only in relation with photography or webdesign but just about a bit of everything that describe myself. To find detail information you can check my cv online.
I was born in Madrid in May 1982, then travel around Spain with my family because of my father's job. I changed school many times but I lived all my adolescence in the small city of Leon and then I coursed Advertising and PR in the University of Segovia.
At this time, and still nowadys, I wanted to discover new things and have new experiences, the University lessons didn't satisfied me and I wanted to put challenges in my life since I get bored easily. I've always dreamed about being an outsider, so I decided to go to Ireland.
I packed my bags and started the adventure, with no english background it was a bit difficult to survive.

I managed to find a job and started to learn. Now, I have spent almost the last five years living in Dublin and I'm happy but always keeping this adventured nature.
During my time in Ireland I have worked in many kinds of jobs, making cappuccinos, salads and pasta, network administrator in a bank or photographer for a Chamber of Commerce, always trying to do something creative even in the hardest work enviroment.
Creativity is what makes me feel alive, the process for which I can process an idea and turn it into a reality, into a piece of art, photograph or website. So after I tried different disciplines, I decided to study photography and web design in Ireland in order to achieve my goals in life.
I have travel a lot to get some inspirations, to get fresh and different air and feel the desire of shooting with my camera. I've been travelling around Ireland, Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary, Italy, Germany, UK, France, Portugal, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia and of course Spain.

And finally my dream is becoming reality. Between my last achievements are photographer for an International NGO, event photographer for different organizations and companies, photos published in a national magazine, many sessions with wonderful models, portraits of interesting people and development of creative websites.

My next step, work as documentary photographer in a movie or theatre company.
