More Life

What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?
My project for 2026 is to detach myself from work, to have a year that’s less boring than the last one, and for my photos to reflect that.

No tengo un proyecto muy concreto, solo fotografío cosas que veo. No podría decir que mis fotos son una especie de diario, en los últimos años he estado más orientado a la foto de calle y siempre con cámaras de película. Me gusta capturar cosas que me produzcan algún tipo de sentimiento, no solo cosas que se vean bien estéticamente. 

What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on them?
Strangely, years ago I felt a constant urgency to share my photos. But now, the last rolls I shot are still sitting in my archive. I wanted to do something different (not just post on Instagram), and I think this space arrives at just the right moment for that. I’m also learning that being angry can be good for me — and that I don’t want to waste my life.

What words, ideas or emotions were going through your head?
Nostalgia, transparency, pleasure, confrontation.

Were there any conversations, movies, music, or books that made their way into that work?
I think Shed by Title Fight is an album I can listen to when I’m angry, fed up, or desperate — and lately there’s been a lot of that. I recently watched Night is Short, Walk On Girl; it carries a strong spirit of discovery and connection.

What's been the most difficult thing you've faced recently in your creative process?
In 2025, I went through the least inspired and least motivated period to take photos in the almost 12 years I’ve been doing it. There were months when I felt practically no interest in even trying. That year, work consumed me and I took very few photos. Now I’m fighting against that. I’m trying to live more, to feel more, to not let the chaos crush me. I feel like I’m reclaiming my sensitivity and my time.

What is your favorite restaurant and what do you recommend we order?
My favorite places are in cities I haven’t lived in for years. In Mérida, have a Donkatsu and an order of mandu at Choga Seoul. Here in Mexico City, I like going to the Panda Express at Oasis (specifically that one); Mendl is good too; and hidden among the streets of Santo Domingo there’s a street sushi stand called Kanpai — I like ordering the Kiury Roll or the Yakimeshi, Chef’s Special version.

If your life were a movie this month, what would it be called and who would write the soundtrack?
It would be called More Life, and Porter Robinson would do the soundtrack.

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.
What excites me most is seeing the photos my friends and people I know take. Follow my friend Marcoss Reyes if nostalgia pulls you in too, and my friend Jennifer Guillermina if you need a photo session.

On another note, what Yusuke Nagata, y cómo lo hace, siempre me contagia una emoción por disfrutar el momento. Cuando necesito motivación veo los videos de su canal o videos en los que él aparece en Youtube. En esa misma línea, también Daniel Arnold and Trevor Wisecup have a very beautiful way of seeing things. From our country, Patricio Malagón is my favorite photographer. There’s an excess of reality in his photos — whatever that might mean.
