Real stories for people & brands with soul
Identity-led doc style
You don’t need content — you need identity

I believe in the power of authentic storytelling—whether through a camera lens, a meaningful lesson, or a moment shared with others. My work as a photographer, filmmaker, and teacher is rooted in the idea that stories connect us, inspire us, and allow us to see the world in new ways. I’ve been fortunate to work on projects that have shown me the true power of storytelling. Filmmaking and photograp

hy has given me the privilege of connecting with people in meaningful ways, offering a window into their lives and stories, whether big or small. From intimately discovering couples' love stories along the Costa Brava, to the fight for indigenous rights and political representation in the Ecuadorian Amazon, each project has been an opportunity to grow, to connect, to gain new perspectives, and to collaborate with others. Teaching is another passion that has shaped my journey. From volunteering in a Colombian school, where I blended photography and storytelling to spark curiosity in young minds, to guiding students in Bocas del Toro to develop their own creative voices, I’ve found immense fulfillment in helping others grow and explore their potential. Teaching allows me to share what I love while empowering others to tell their stories—whether they’re picking up a camera for the first time or building their brand through content creation. Each project I take on—whether personal, professional, or collaborative—is a chance to connect, to listen, and to create something meaningful. I bring a mix of professional expertise, cultural awareness, and a passion for capturing what makes each story unique. I work and live with heart, passion and authenticity.

“There’s power in the simple moments.”

Brand storytelling for Bluff Beach Retreat, Bocas del Toro

11/02/2026

I help brands with identity-led storytelling.

Nothing made up, only what already exists, just beneath the surface.
With Bluff Beach Retreats, the work was not to invent something new, but to refocus and hone in on what it already was.

Families who seek a place to do less,
and who know the most important thing,
is connection to each other.

The rest is noise.

A coconut only becomes a toy.
The sand only becomes artwork.
A dad only becomes a diving board.

When we have time,
and the simplicity to interact,
to be curious,
to connect.

One story of many for Bluff Beach Retreats.
For places that feel there’s something worth revealing.

"I used to be able to look after my grandchildren. Since the cataracts worsened, I haven’t been able to have them stay with me.”

Losing eyesight doesn’t just affect one person, it affects their family, their community, their sense of identity.
One patient’s transformation has a recursive effect on everyone around them.

I met this group of nonprofit eye surgeons while filming with Floating Doctors. They asked if I could use some of the material I’d already captured to tell one of their stories. This was the result.

Incredible work from the teams at Panama Eye Ministry and Floating Doctors.

If you’re an organisation doing meaningful work and you want your story told with dignity, honesty, and emotional truth — I’m here.

I was commissioned to create the brand film for Bodhi Tree, but I also felt inspired to explore a few extra moments…filming in both meditative and high-energy ways, just in case they wanted more.

This edit grew from those experiments. Still rooted in breath and presence, but with a freer rhythm.

By this point the main film was complete, the pressure was gone, and I was reminded that flow state doesn’t just come from deep focus, but from genuine enjoyment.

Special thanks to my iguana model for bringing the energy 🦎

I’ve always been emotionally sensitive, something I once tried to hide, thinking it was a weakness. Now I see it as my greatest strength in filmmaking. My work begins long before the edit. It starts with listening, understanding what someone truly wants to project into the world, and shaping that into a message with video as its medium.

That’s exactly how it was with María del Mar in Costa Rica. She gave me the creative freedom to explore her vision and build the story from there.

I approach every project not just as a videographer, but as a creative director and brand partner. My filmmaking is built on emotional intelligence, uncovering the story that truly reflects your brand. That way, our work together doesn’t just produce a video; it creates a lasting message that grows with you, and a partnership that can evolve as your brand does.

New Offering: Real Estate & Lifestyle Photography – Bocas + Panama

Bringing the same care I give to brand and story work, I now offer real estate photography, focused on natural light, thoughtful angles, and a little more care than your standard listing shoot here.

My style is clean, honest, and human. High end, yet authentic. When needed, I also offer lifestyle scenes to help show how a space can be lived in, not just looked at.

I take on a limited number of projects… ideally ones with a more premium or personal vision, where there’s time to capture the space in its best light and mood.

Available in Bocas del Toro, Panama and Costa Rica depending on the scope of the project.

Let’s make your space look its best.
