I was born in Chile but I have spent much of my life overseas. I lived in five different countries before I settled in London in 1992. In 2000, in my early fifties, at an age that most people would start thinking about retiring I decided to go back to university to study photography. From the very beginning I was attracted by close up and portrait photography but perhaps because of my background in sociology and history of art I have also developed an interest in documentary and travel photography. I have always maintained very close links with Chile, and most of my photographic projects are related to my native country. My latest work was the text and photographs for the first Chilean religious tourism guide.
