General Info:
I am a photographer born in Cuba and raised in Spain and the United States. I specialize in landscape and architectural photography.
Landscape photography is to me the best cure for stress. There is a simple idealism in the subjective framing and presentation of a landscape in its best light that I find so very rewarding. To isolate a small piece of nature, seemingly untouched by man, and share this dream with others through a photograph is a game I will gladly play for a lifetime. Having grown up on an island and then moving to Miami, I have
drawn my inspiration mostly from the surrounding water and lush vegetation. The heart and soul of my photographs generally come from the interaction of the light with the water and surrounding structures.
From peaceful dreamy longer exposures to the violence and impact of the waves crashing into rugged coasts, coastal scenes will remain my favorite subject. Nevertheless, I am quite happy to face the challenge of capturing the beauty and character of other landscapes and structures. Be it densely wooded areas where light is an implied presence or a dramatic guest, or towering mountains framed
against the snow blowing from their peaks.
Although I have a classic landscape photographer’s workflow that depends very much on the use of a tripod and filters matched to a careful and deliberate composition in good light, lately I have sacrificed some of that control to create particular abstract photographs.
All my photographs are captured using a digital camera and are digitally processed prior to printing. For each image, I currently print a maximum of 200 editions (and two artist proofs.) Photographs range in size from 8x10 to 30 x72. Most of the work is presented on archival grade media, face mounted on gallery quality acrylic which increases color saturation and helps accentuate details and gives the
photographs an almost three-dimensional look. Some of the work is also presented on aluminum panels and photographic paper print.
