Ah, the genesis of my career - a tale of escape from family mandates and a sprinkle of journalistic talent. Picture this: my Uncle Hermes, a bona fide war correspondent for NBC, regaling us with tales of his globetrotting adventures. From the Gulf War to Sarajevo, El Salvador to Nicaragua, and even cooking several barbecues for Diego Maradona in Cuba, he painted vivid pictures of the world's most tumultuous events. His stories didn't just entertain me; they ignited a fire within. Inspired by his courageous exploits, I set out on my own journey, determined to capture stories like his. So, armed with his anecdotes and a healthy dose of wanderlust, I embarked on my own whirlwind of travel and stories, despite my father's comical concerns about dying in the attempt or from hunger due to this profession.
But hey, what's a little hunger when you're chasing dreams, right?

As time went on, I gained more experience and realized that my destiny was not to cover wars and conflicts. My projects and concerns have always been related to social awareness, with a focus on making a positive impact on the audience.
In 2014, amidst the chaos of marriage, kids, and a penguin incident (don't ask!), I found myself with an inexplicable void. My thirst for fresh storytelling avenues, combined with my background in documentaries, propelled me away from the relentless churn of breaking news. I reimagined my journalistic prowess into a contemporary storytelling flair, seizing every quirky opportunity to capture shots that propel narratives forward with gusto. As a documentary director and DOP, I'm on a mission to strike the perfect balance between artistic flair and societal impact. So, while the penguins enjoy their well-deserved break, I'm out here chasing stories with passion and purpose.
Based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, my projects showcase a profound dedication to social issues and justice. Today, I direct documentaries with a deeply personal touch, all while my ever-supportive wife cheers me on with a mix of encouragement and eye-rolls.
Combining teamwork and expertise, I navigate comfortably through sensitive stories, weaving with my workmates compelling visuals even with limited budgets and tight deadlines. Because when passion meets purpose, there's no obstacle too big—or budget too small.
