ABOUT ME:
I was born in Viña del Mar ,Chile in 1972. Came to America at the age of 5,with two brothers and my little sister. Oh yeah my parents too, Who brought us. Oops.
I studied the Arts throughout my childhood into adolescents, from Architecture to Music.
Then in college continued my Architecture studies until the Rock band I was Playing in got signed to a Major Record label. The rest is History…
After becoming a Rock Star I came back to reality and got a real job cooking in restaurants, which was also one of my other passions, besides drumming and making noise!!!
After Six years Learning as much as I could from top chefs around Miami, I got offered a position in a Photography Studio in which I was Set designing for major Catalogs and Print Ad Agencies throughout Florida. Here I fine-tuned my craft and merged food and photography together.
Becoming a Food Stylist and learning Photographic techniques from Miami’s Elite Photographers.
After a long run and exciting times in studios and freelancing Jobs, We decided to open our own Photo Studio to Cater to Commercial and Food Photography.
Also embarking into the video world we’ve had new and exciting opportunities.
