I fell in love with photography back in 2013 when my dear friend Matt Olson insisted and was kind enough to let me borrow his professional Nikon for my first trip back to my roots, my childhood country of Spain. A side note, this is why I incorporated the Osborne Bull as part of my logo. It is the unofficial symbol of Spain where I was born and later where my passion for photography began. It was a sight to see one of the 46 ft tall bull signs while driving through the beautiful countryside of Spain.
Before the journey started, I was absolutely terrified by that intimidating apparatus known as a DSLR. I wondered if one would have to have a Master's degree to operate it. I downloaded the massive manual and read as much as possible during the flight. I managed to get some "decent" photos of the rich historical architecture and beautiful landscapes, but soon realized that by far, my favorite photographs were capturing the emotions on the faces of my Spanish relatives.
Fast forward a few years. Ever had a childhood dream? I've been fascinated by exotic cars since I was a young boy. I couldn't wait until the next issue of Car & Driver or Motor Trend to come out so I could read about the latest specs and advancements. Then there were the photographs. I always thought about how fortunate the photographers were. Not only did they get to be around the world's finest machines. They photographed them! I've had to pinch myself a few times recently as I have found myself smiling from ear to ear while sitting in the cockpit of a couple of Ferraris driving with the top down through beautiful, twisty canyon roads. And photograph them. I guess some dreams do come true.
As we all know, there are hundreds of great photographers out there. I have come to admire, respect and appreciate each for their work and their own unique style. I've included some of my favorite photos here to see if my style fits what you are looking for. I sincerely aim to please! I am flexible and will work with you to accommodate your needs. I provide a 100% satisfaction guarantee for your images. If you are not satisfied, I will recompose your images at no charge.
With each portrait session I include the digital files in ultra-high resolution format. All images are artistically edited and retouched. After each session, you are emailed a download link to a secure online gallery along with a release giving you permission to print the images. If there are any questions, concerns or special requests, please feel free to discuss prior to the shoot. I am very patient and not a fan of rushing photo shoots. Making memories should be fun, relaxing and exciting!
