Currently living & working out of Switzerland, I began my professional photography career in San Francisco’s early 90’s music scene. My interest in fashion led me to switch directions and I soon found myself immersed in the world of editorial and advertising. Fortunately, my work allowed me to be based in such wonderfully diverse cities such as Istanbul, Berlin & Buenos Aires.
Just before my move to Los Angeles from Argentina in 2008, my work was about to take another direction once again. With my home just across from the local race-track, I was inspired by the athletes, their years of dedication & struggles, their passion for the sport...painted across their faces, shrouded in an armor of bright & colorful silks...JOCKEYS.
Unbeknownst to me at the time, this project was the catalyst for pursuing photography purely of my own vision, not having to consider clients, art directors, agencies etc...and the past 10 years have been all the more fulfilling for it. Looking forward to many more.
