I am a visual director with over twenty years of experience in advertising, documentary, and outdoor content. I started my career at 17 with Jip Peru, a pioneer in camera supports and cinematographic rigs, where I spent a decade on high-profile productions for Coca-Cola, D’Onofrio, and various film and documentary projects. Since I was 27 I have built an independent career collaborating with international brands such as Red Bull, Columbia, Patagonia, and with institutions like Universidad Andina del Cusco, Romosa, MLP, Butterfield & Robinson and Terra Explorer. My work has taken me through natural and cultural settings across South America, Africa and Central America, blending cinematic aesthetics with authentic cultural storytelling and a strong connection to the land.
