About ME

Architecture and Photography have become not only my profession but also a way to understand and express the world we live in. 

I hold a bachelor degree in Architecture from Argentina and a Master of Architecture degree from UIC. I realized, over the years, that architecture and photography share a similar language, both are a selfish act: "You don't take a photograph, You make it" - Ansel Adams. And so the photographer must approach his or her subject with a greater sense of empathy, a more generous respect, and gratitude.

What attracts me to photography is the same that attracted me to architecture: a depth of imagination, a love of the image, and the desire to probe deeper into the lives that surround me.
