Biography
I have been a professional and passionate photographer for more than 25 years, specializing in sailing and nautical photography. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working at the highest level of competitive sailing, combining photography with an in-depth understanding of the sport and its teams.
I was the official photographer for Caixa Galicia during their IMS World Championship and Transpac campaigns, and have covered more than ten editions of the Copa del Rey. I have also worked as a photographer for Yate magazine and Yachting World Spain, documenting some of the most important sailing events and projects in Spain and internationally.
My career has also taken me inside America’s Cup campaigns. I was part of the Alinghi team that won the 32nd America’s Cup in Valencia. During the 37th America’s Cup, I joined the Recon Unit responsible for following Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli’s development and performance over 16 months in Cagliari. I later worked as an official event photographer during the final stages of the America’s Cup in Barcelona.
This year, I am continuing my involvement at the highest level of the sport as part of the Recon team and as a photographer for ACE (America’s Cup Event) during the 38th America’s Cup. This ongoing experience gives me a unique perspective on the evolution of America’s Cup sailing, from the development and testing of the boats to the intensity and spectacle of the competition itself.
After more than 25 years behind the camera, my goal remains the same: to capture the speed, precision, emotion and human effort that make sailing unique, and to tell the story of the sport through powerful, authentic and technically demanding images.
