I'm a photographer and mountaineer from Mexico, born in 1987. I studied at the Faculty of Arts and Design and the National School of Cinematographic Arts at UNAM. My work focuses on documentary photography, particularly on themes like human rights, environmental change, social movements, and migration.
As a freelance photographer and video journalist, I've covered natural disasters, violence, the migrant crisis, climate change, human rights, and general news in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Algeria, India, and Nepal. I've contributed to different media outlets such as AP, Reuters, AFP, Smithsonian Channel, New York Times, Getty Images, Al Jazeera, and others, as well as organizations like Greenpeace, Amazon Watch, and Oceana Mexico.
In recent years, I've concentrated on documenting issues related to territorial defense, human rights, climate change, nature, and anti-extractive struggles.
