Mexico City, Mexico
I have the discipline, strength and will of committing myself fully to achieve the goals that I choose. I have lived, studied and worked in three different countries for long periods, which gives me various perspectives of the world, cultures and people. I am a constant, fast learner, disciplined and passionate for the art of visual storytelling. I’ve worked as an assistant director in more than 77 projects and have over 550 shoot days experience.

As a photographer assistant it was my duty to arrange and pack the equipment for the days project. On location I would have to build up the set, set the lightning and prepare everything for the shoot in accordance to the photographer’s project needs. Additional tasks would come on depending on the needs of the shoot. I have worked with him in several countries like Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Spain and USA.
