Originally from Ecuador, I've spent the last 10 years living, learning, and filming across different cities and countries. No matter where I go, my heart is forever grounded in the wild landscapes and vibrant cultures of South America. Over the past few years, I’ve worked across a variety of fiction and non-fiction projects — mainly as a cinematographer and camera assistant. But beyond titles, what truly drives me is the thrill of capturing stories that matter, wherever they may be. From jungle trails to sun-drenched beaches, I'm a camera-in-hand, boots-on-the-ground kind of filmmaker. I live for the chaos and beauty of the field — discovering voices, cultures, and perspectives that deserve to be seen and heard. Stories have taken me around the world — and I’m just getting started.…Originally from Ecuador, I've spent the last 10 years living, learning, and filming across different cities and countries.
