Since I was a little boy I followed in my father’s footsteps and I developed an interest in photography. Once I finished my secondary school, which had an ecological orientation, I realized my focal point would aim at nature.

With my camera, I have pictured the wild life of places such as Islas Malvinas/Falkland Island, Argentina, Torres del Paine (Chile), Yellowstone (USA), China, India, South Korea, Africa and Brazil.

However, a few years ago I set a goal; I decided to raise awareness regarding theimportance of the care of different species and their habitats, spreading my work through art shows, exhibitions, newspaper articles and magazines, among other activities.

I have performed exhibitions in cultural venues such as in EspacioArte in the International Airports of Buenos Aires (Ezeiza and Jorge Newbery), as well as in the one in Córdoba and Bariloche, El Palmar National Park, Las Balsas Relais & Chateaux, Sofitel La Reserva Cardales, Correntoso Lake & River Hotel in Villa La Angostura, ExpoVinos VLA Wine Fair, Hotel Charming in Bariloche, National University of Luján, ExpoBio Fair at the Hippodrome of San Isidro, the Central Hall of the Municipality of the Partido Malvinas Argentinas, Opening Exhibition of the XXII ALPZA (Latin-American Association of Zoos and Aquariums) CONGRESS, and Cabrales Cultural Venue.

I write for “Nat Geo”, “Lonely Planet”, “Bienvenido a Bordo” (Welcome on Board), “El Cronista Comercial” (The Commercial Reporter), and “Far South Expeditions” among other publishers. My articles are mainly about fauna, but also about my trips.

I contribute to the “Fundación Temaiken”, “Fundación Vida Silvestre” (Argentine Wildlife Foundation) and “Aves Argentinas” (Argentine
Birds). I also develop activities in relation to the rescue, care and responsible pet ownership for “Refugio San Francisco de Asis”, “Reserva Natural PUMAKAWA”, “Protectora Rosario”, “Las Renatas”, “Pro Vida de Villa Gesell”, among others.

I am currently giving courses and lectures about the work of a wild life photographer to all those nature lovers and photographers who want to deepen their knowledge in this area in order to make unconventional
destinations well-known as well as explaining photographic techniques.
The Municipal Council of the city of Rosario named me “Distinguished Visitor” for my contribution to the NGO «Protectora Rosario», according to Decree No. 45.905.

Additionally, I am collaborating with leading international travel agencies such as «International Expeditions» (USA) and «Far South Expeditions» (Chile), giving talks during the expeditions and helping other photographers improve their techniques. Photographing nature gives me the possibility of visiting many places as well as observing the behavior of different species.

Through the study of its shapes, movements and interaction, I have developed a strong bond with the fauna of these places. I always try to reflect this connection in my photographs.

Each photograph has a story to tell.
