I’m a documentary and portrait photographer from Monterrey, Mexico interested in visually representing the rights of women and LGBTQ people. I studied Audiovisual Languages at the School of Visual Arts of the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León and when I finished my degree I worked as a photojournalist for the  newspapers El Horizonte and Publimetro.

Since my beginnings as a photographer, the LGBT community has always been the axis of my personal work, since the fact of portraying people with the same sexual orientation as me is a subject that touches me in a very profound way. When I was a child I never had that opportunity to recognize myself in someone else, even now it is not easy to see myself represented in the media, in literature or the cinema. Due to this lack of visibility, we as LGBT people continue to face rejection and violence by society. So I have dedicated myself to visually representing gay, lesbian and transgender women and men.

“Lesbian Families” was my first photo project and I have had the opportunity of exhibit this project in several cities.

From 2009 to 2015 I was documenting the social movements that emerged in Monterrey due to the wave of drug trafficking violence that hit the city by surprise. It was a very long project that I could culminate in the electronic book “Renacimiento, Monterrey en la primera década del Siglo XXI, una crónica visual“, which the UANL published.

Last year my project “Natural Bodies” was exhibited at The Vignette Art Fair 2019, selected by Leslie Moody-Castro; The Curated Fridge Summer 2019, selected by Alyssa Coppelman; and CorpoRealities, in PH21 Gallery, from Budapest, Hungary.

Last year I finished my documentary film “Querida Nancy”, about the life of Nancy Cárdenas, the pioneer of the LGBT movement in Mexico. The film is now participating in film festivals around the world. Currently I’m working on a portrait project of Latinx LGBT immigrants.
