Everything begins in Valledupar, where I was born; surrounded by mango trees, sounds of accordions, guitars and amazing orange-pink sunsets.
My mom and dad, both passionate with photography gave me my first two professional film cameras. After that, the world was on my hands and I didn’t wait too long to fell in love with this art that became more than a thing I liked, my passion and my every day. In the mid of 2002, graduated from high school and took my camera with me to the big city: Bogotá.
Studying architecture in Bogotá I didn’t stop taking pictures of places, faces and all kind of particular things and facts that happened in the city. Took one year of black and white and enjoyed every second in the dark room (something that I still enjoy). Photography invaded every thought and every minute after graduating from architecture. Needed a big change in my life and decided to move to Boston, MA to follow my passion for photography. Attended the New England School of Photography and after learning amazing things with amazing people I am back in the town, to start rock ‘n rolling!
The best,
V.
