I'm a Latino artist fascinated by youth and culture, I explore how our histories of diversity bloom into individualism and modern society. Through portrait photography, my work attempts to celebrate the idea of being comfortable in your own skin.
Born and raised in central Florida, I’m an advocate for our ‘lost identity’; particularly the lives and emotions of residence here in Orlando. Theme parks aside, there is a youthful bunch that represents an oasis of creativity.
Salad Days is an expression of the spirit of its Shakespearean namesake— capturing youthfulness, idealism, and innocence. The subjects aren’t models, but a small group of diverse young adults that contribute to the area’s unique culture. Every portrait session is the result of conversations with those individuals only often found at art shows and exhibits.
