Miami, FL, USA
I am a Venezuelan photographer based in Miami, USA, since 2019.
I studied Interior Design and practiced it for years, but I have always been close to photography. I come from a family of photographers, mainly dedicated to portraiture, that had made photography part of me.
I have been doing documentary photography for around twelve years, and for the last ten years, I have been documenting my family life practically every day.
For years I had my eyes set on the street in photojournalism, but it was not until the beginning of 2019 that I could go out and do it. On second thought, that year, I dared to assume that this was what I wanted to do and went out to do it.
I am in full training and eager to learn and grow every day to continue to witness what happens in our environment, that daily routine that makes it a habit and normality, to make complaints, and to spread the voice of those who need it.
I like a lot to work on breaking news. The rush to run from one side to another to make it work excites me. But I also love to have the time to get involved in a story, to have time to go deep, and to be able to tell more about the people, their problems, or their achievements.
Since February 2019, I have worked for Bloomberg, AFP, Getty Images, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Anadolu Agency, El País, and BBC Mundo among others.
I'm available for new assignments in Miami and open to travel. I have HEFAT training.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor Anthony Borges shows his injuries during an interview with AFP in Coral Springs, Florida, on August 9, 2019. The scourge of gun violence in the US is no secret: some 36,000 Americans are killed every year on average, or about 100 a day, in homicides, suicides, police-involved shootings and accidents. Hundreds more are shot and wounded daily in the most-heavily armed country in the world. Those victims -- of mass shootings, or just everyday arguments that go awry -- live on with their wounds.
