In my photography, I aim to convey the impressions and emotions I experience in nature. Along the way, I have found myself drawn to the extreme ends of photographic techniques, be that ultra-wide or super-telephoto, blackout or whiteout, long shutter speeds, or unconventional compositions. At the extremities, the distractions fall away, the important elements are […]
Minimalism in photography isn’t about having less; it’s about revealing more by removing what are, in my opinion, distractions. It’s about creating space: space for the subject to breathe, and space for the viewer to pause and feel. In the following section, I’ll share a few practical tips I often use to bring simplicity into my work. They’re not strict rules, as the creative mind doesn’t fit in a box or, in terms of photography, a grid, but guiding ideas to help you focus on what matters in an image. Think of them as suggestions, things that work for me but might not necessarily work for you. This is simply my perspective. A vision. Minimalistic. Imaginative. Two-dimensional.

Aside from the fascinating patterns, structures, and light displays waiting to be discovered, photographing in these kinds of conditions also pays off in terms of equipment and technique. The bright light during a sunny day will result in very fast shutter speeds.
Have you ever felt the rush of excitement when a subject finally aligns with the perfect light? Moments like these remind me why I love photography: capturing fleeting beauty that can never be replicated. Photographing subjects like langurs has taught me the value of patience.
More often than not, it’s the scene itself that sparks my creativity. When the right light and elements come together, I instinctively seek out subjects to complete the composition. While I occasionally find cooperative subjects, I sometimes struggle to find a compelling backdrop.
However, when a dramatic scene unfolds, my mind naturally begins to search for the perfect subject to complement it.

Today, my passion for macro photography and the role invertebrates play in our environment has never been greater. Whether exploring my backyard or visiting new places, each outing feels like an adventure. When I photograph new-to-me species and capture those fleeting moments that I get to share with the world, I’m inspired to keep looking closer to see what I’ll find. In retrospect, I realize I didn’t find my niche — it found me. All along, it was waiting for me to notice it. My journey from casual photographer to macro specialist was unexpected, but through it I have learned the value of curiosity, experimentation, and being open to new experiences.

Series Apariciones, which means “Appearances”
Maybe showing only the surface is a defense mechanism,
or perhaps an energy-saving resource, I don’t know.
Just like the sea, there are also people
you need to dive into a little, show them genuine interest,
and then … only then, like the sea, do the appearances begin.
The fears, the enigmas, the mysteries … but also the magic! ✨

As you read the following lines below, you might be located in the southern hemisphere and it might be summer for you. Or maybe, just like me, you are in the northern hemisphere … here in Canada, my favorite season is just about to begin. Winter! Yes, I am in love with winter.

Starting from Buenos Aires, we headed to the Atlantic coast, visiting some of the simplest and most boring places for landscape photography: endless beaches with nothing but sand and water.
Oddly enough, this was exactly the kind of place I needed to reconnect with my camera, which I hadn’t used in months. There was still a bittersweet feeling from having left everything behind, and it seemed like my camera was the reason for it.

My path into nature photography came about quite naturally for me because even as a child, I was fascinated by animals and their different habitats, the interaction of different species within an ecosystem, and the peculiarities and characteristics of certain animal species. Photography is a wonderful way for me to present my own individual view of nature and to immortalize in a photo what inspires me about an animal or a particular situation. I enjoy bringing people closer to something that they might otherwise miss or not even get to know or see. An idea for a picture often comes about through a chance encounter and is often only very brief. And when I reflect on it, I often have the desire to create a picture of it.

With its beautiful colors, intricate patterns, and graceful flamingos, Lake Magadi has been a highlight of my 30-year journey as a nature photographer. It felt like a final exam of sorts: a technical challenge requiring abstract compositions and quick captures of giant flocks of birds within a limited time. But it was so much more than that.
