Statement Born on the Caribbean island of Cuba, my family and I soon moved and made New York our new home where I've lived ever since. After graduating from college with a degree in Nursing I remained busy but unfulfilled.
After seeing my mothers great interest in photography I decided to pick up a camera and here began the long journey that has taken me to many beautiful places around the world.
Though I was never formally trained in photography I quickly delved into the learning process by reading many great books by renowned masters in the field. Often times I would study their images and learn how they captured them and how I can do it as well through my own eyes and create my own style.
I now travel world wide to capture these images and often times stand side by side to
those masters whose work I studied long ago. | |
