My first contact with photography was during my childhood. My father used to let me play around with his wonderful Kodak with Schneider lens, which I still keep as a family souvenir. Later, I became passionate about the black and white dark room, where I've spent much of the little time left over from my absorbing job as a musician. The discovery of digital editing has, however, allowed me to accomplish projects I didn't know how to do with traditional methods.

The majority of the works exhibited here are based on black and white negatives which were later manipulated with well known editing software.

Generally, in the studio, I use either a Zenza Bronica 6x7 or a Nikon F4, although I'm starting to work with a digital Sony F707 from which I expect to get good results.
