-
I am a 35 year old autistic queer Colombian photographer.
I’ve been shooting professionally full time for 14 years. I started doing workshops about 10 years ago.
I have a degree in Psychology — and Photography, and Math— from the University of Pennsylvania.
You can see my professional portfolio HERE. -
I want to be able to get to know you.
To have conversations that go deeper than shop talk.
To take my time taking your photograph.
To soften into your your energy, and have you soften into mine.
To share creative intimacy with you.
I’m autistic and this is comfortably feasible only in small groups.
I’m genuinely so excited to meet you!
