I’ve been working as a cinematographer for nearly 20 years in documentaries and narrative films and I love using light and shadows to tell stories, strongly influenced by the work of Nestor Almedros in Days of Heaven and José Luis Alcaine in El Sur, along with the work of painters Andrew Wyeth, Vermeer and Rembrandt.

Most recently I’ve wrapped the indie film El pezón de Elena, directorial debut of Esteban Magaz produced by Sarao Films, and I’ve photographed the eighth season of the documentary series De seda y hierro, produced by Muy Films and RTVE.

The Andalusian Association of Writers honored me with the Best Cinematography award for my work on the documentary film Los días azules and I’ve been nominated for Best Cinematography at the Spasmo Fest, Italy (winner) and the Warped Witch Film Festival, Lafayette, Louisiana, for my work on the horror short film Umbra.

I’m based in Madrid and I’ve worked with production companies from London and NY. When not on set, I’m most likely watching a movie, reading about cinema or studying to improve this beautiful craft.
