About me
Who am I?
My work explores the shared humanity that exists across social and economic divides. Some superstitions suggest that photographing someone captures a part of their soul. When I make an image, I think about that idea—how a single moment might reveal the deeper complexity of a person’s life. Through candid street photography, I attempt to document the tension between vulnerability and resilience that defines the human experience.
I photograph people from all walks of life—To the less fortunate, protesters, workers, and businessmen moving through financial districts. My approach is grounded in the belief that beneath social hierarchies, we share the same fundamental realities of being human. Inspired by a phrase my grandfather often repeated—“At the end of the day, they piss and shit just like me”—I approach each subject without hierarchy, seeking moments of honesty rather than spectacle.
My perspective is shaped by personal experience. I grew up with a single Puerto Rican mother experiencing poverty, and at times came close to homelessness myself. Because of this, I approach people on the street with empathy and a sense of shared reality.
In an era defined by curated online identities, my work focuses on documenting the unfiltered realities of contemporary life.
