I grew up in Galicia, the Atlantic coast of Spain. I lived in Madrid for seven years where I studied Media and Communications and Philosophy. Since I remember, I have always been very interested in arts and photography.
In 2004 I started working as a photojournalist in Galicia and Madrid. Later on I became a freelance photographer and participated in different exhibitions, solo and collective ones. In 2007 I moved to Barcelona to continue my photographic education while working as a press and documentary photographer for Spanish NGOs in India, Senegal and Gabon.
My personal projects are somewhere in-between documentary and fine art, bordering on the lines of fiction & reality. I believe in photography as an exceptional tool for communication and I see in it an endless power of evocation.
I moved to London in 2009 to undertake an MA in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at the London College of Communication. I am currently living and in London, where I combine freelance assignments with other personal projects.
