I am a Puerto Rico-born photographer based in New York City, who forged my unique visual perspective through global travels during my military service. That journey taught me the disciplined observation I now bring to my professional portrait, street, and fashion photography in NYC and beyond.

Currently splitting my time between the high-energy streets of New York City and the timeless narratives of Tokyo, I am driven by the raw human story. My creative goal as an NYC photographer is to move beyond the surface, revealing the genuine emotion and deep culture hidden within every single frame.

My recent professional work includes serving as an official House Photographer for Runway 7 during New York Fashion Week (NYFW), where I captured the visual narrative for a diverse range of international designers. Whether I am documenting the unscripted pulse of a Manhattan street corner or the curated artistry of the runway, I strive to capture the true soul of the moment.
