What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?
Aside from commissioned work, my focus is on two projects. The first is my exhibition in Mexico City. The second is the creation of a photobook; both involve gathering the best of my photographic archive from La Paz, Bolivia, spanning the last two decades. I hope to accomplish both goals in 2026.
What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on them?
What I definitely learned is to be patient and consistent. I’ve been doing this since 2006, and I think that after many closed doors, in recent years I’m just beginning to see the results of nearly two decades of work as a photographer.
What words, ideas or emotions were going through your head?
Anxiety, without a doubt. Exhibiting in another country represents something very important in my career, but it’s also quite nerve-wracking. I’m working with Jeannette, the owner of Jeannette, la propietaria de la galería Claroscuro Gallery, to ensure everything comes together as intended.
Were there any conversations, movies, music, or books that made their way into that work?
This is a photographic archive spanning almost 15 years, so many sources of inspiration come to mind. One that I always remember is the street photography documentary, Everybody Street; I highly recommend it.
What's been the most difficult thing you've faced recently in your creative process?
Separating my personal life from my work.
What is your favorite restaurant and what do you recommend we order?
I don’t have a favorite place, but I do recommend that at least once a week you enjoy a good steak cooked over the grill. Even better if it’s with friends, it’s therapeutic.
If your life were a movie this month, what would it be called and who would write the soundtrack?
Definitely, the soundtrack would be done by Eddie Vedder, and the film would be titled Reinventing Myself.
Recommend one or more artists you follow who inspire you, and tell us what you like most about their work or their way of working.
My reference as a street photographer has always been William Klein; I fell in love with his style. His photography reflects that honest and, at the same time, chaotic dialogue between the subject and the space they move through.
(La Paz, 1985). Bolivian photographer whose work explores identity, territory, and everyday life from a deeply human perspective. In 2019, he presented his first solo exhibition, Espacios Recorridos, in La Paz. His work has been published in Vogue México, La Nación, Página 12 and McKellar Magazine.
