I’m a Colombian-American cinematographer and lighting technician based in Southern California, with nearly a decade of experience shaping light and storytelling across film, television, and commercial work. My background blends both narrative and commercial worlds, from feature films and music videos to beauty and lifestyle campaigns for brands like Montblanc, Amika, Kosas, SkinMedica, Delavie, and Jergens.

I’m drawn to imagery that feels intentional, natural, emotionally grounded, and creating visuals that support the story without overpowering it. Whether I’m behind the camera or building the light that defines a scene, my focus is always on creating work that feels honest, cinematic, and alive.
