About Me: Born in Argentina, I moved to Glastonbury with my wife, Karen, more than 20 years ago. Now, we live in Risca, Wales, with a handsome son, Llawdden and a lovely daughter, Crisiant. Visual artist and glamour photographer since 1997, published author, professor, lecturer, and creative explorer. Author of several books and articles exploring the intersection of Photography & Graphic Design as artistic expressions. Frequently invited by institutions and exhibitors to share insights on the art of visual storytelling through lectures and special seminars. My artistic practice is eclectic, drawing inspiration from the visual poetry of travel, the symbolism of medieval subjects, and the expressive allure of glamour. In my spare time, I shoot arrows, participate in reenactment events, HEMA, collect old cameras, and learn to play the trombone. Creating images is just one path in my continuous search to express myself. My experience as a theatre lighting designer has deeply influenced my artistic vision, enabling me to experiment with unconventional lighting techniques that infuse my photography with a unique, rich sense of glamour. After many years working with film photography and evolving to digital techniques, I am now going back to the roots and shooting with techniques developed in 1851.
