2018-Today | Architectural Photographer - Architect

Growing up in Argentina, I first discovered my love for photography while I was studying architecture. What started as just a casual interest quickly turned into a deep and lasting passion. I'm fascinated by how people use buildings and transform the spaces around them, and my photography helps me explore this connection between architecture, time, and human presence.


Now, I work for myself in Central Europe. My photography is built on what I know about architecture, but I approach it with a documentary feel. I'm not really trying to create super polished, commercial-looking photos. Instead, I'm always on the lookout for those everyday moments that quietly show how buildings and people's lives interact.

My work covers from wide outdoor shots to the tiny details inside buildings. What really draws me in is seeing how architecture changes over time – how it ages, adapts, and shows the signs of being used. I often go back to the same places just to capture these transformations, almost like documenting a conversation between things that last and things that don't.


Lately, storytelling has become a really central part of my work. I want my photos to do more than just show a space; I want them to evoke emotions, create an atmosphere, and tell a narrative. My images are a mix of candid observations and sometimes a few staged moments, but they always feel authentic. I rarely use a tripod, and I keep my post-processing minimal, because I want to keep that sense of immediacy and sensitivity.


At the heart of what I do is a desire to capture the spirit of our times through careful details and composition. I'm always engaging with contemporary art and visual culture, and I try to create photographs that don't just show architectural forms but also tell the human stories held within them. I want my images to feel alive, enduring, and emotionally resonant.
