I was born in Peru and have made Cologne, Germany my home. After several years working in communication for international development cooperation, I decided to take a new path and studied photography at the Fotoakademie-Koeln. I am especially drawn to documentary photography and portraiture – to the diversity of people, their inner world, and their place in the world. I find inspiration in Japanese photography – minimalist, poetic, often relentless – and in my Latin American roots, with their sensuality, depth, and narrative power.
