Walk

I am a Mexican American cinematographer that grew up observing the best and the worst parts of the two countries I have lived. I believe that this gave me the sensibility to approach the stories in the best way possible through lighting and composition, always trying to portrait the emotions on the screen and reach the audience with it.
