ABOUT ME
Close to finishing the year I was told that I had won
the Picture of the Year Award and that I was the top photographer in all of San Diego County. The following year, I finally found a new job as a graphic designer just a couple of blocks away, where I ended up having a
9 to 5, Monday through Friday job as a graphic designer. However, I just couldn’t let go of photography. I decided to go back to Prestige Portraits, working after my 9 to 5 with weekends included. I must admit I was completely hooked on photography. Little by little I started buying more and more equipment.
​
Nowadays, I am stepping up to the plate and have launched myself as a wedding photographer, from time to time doing other side jobs for restaurants or even product photography. For me, photography is about showing other people what I see and how I see things through
my lens. In other words, showing a Mexican what an American sees and vise versa. I like not belonging to
a certain place at times because it pushes me harder to show others my view- one that hasn’t been seen.
Born in San Diego, but having the majority of my childhood in Tijuana, Mexico, has been a challenge.
I am fortunate enough to be an American citizen,
as it has opened up a world to my life, but being
culturally united to what’s considered a 3rd world country has also given me a different perspective in life, making me appreciate many things. Being a Mexican-American has shown me that to an American I’m just Mexican,
but to a Mexican, I’m just American.
Throughout my childhood I always gravitated towards art even though I was spending all of my evenings practicing on a baseball field, something always drew me back to art. Once graduating high school in Chula Vista, CA
I took a huge step and moved to San Francisco, CA attending the Academy of Art University. As I like to say, after “surviving” 4 years in the Bay area I came back home with an associate degree in graphic design.
I immediately started looking for jobs once I got to San Diego and was fortunate enough to get a job as a senior photographer for Prestige Portrait from Lifetouch (I was those cool people that went to your school and took pictures of you for the yearbook or for sports pictures).
