THE INNER LIFE OF A RACING TEAM
FORMULA STUDENT

Drivers, engineers, sweat, stress, and tears. It’s all about the raw emotion found inside and outside the garage. My goal is to get as close as possible to the action, revealing the moments usually hidden behind pit walls. I love capturing the beauty in this hypnotic dance of hard work and pure talent.

This collection features shots from events like Madrid Motor Student, private and FS Jerez 2025 testing, and official competitions including Formula Student Spain and Portugal 2025.

THE BEAUTY OF MECHANICAL MOVEMENT
FORMULA STUDENT

There is a hypnotic quality to these engineering challenges on wheels. When they hit the track, the mechanics fade away, and they become creatures of speed, perfectly adapted to their environment like animals in the wild. This vehicle is the final, polished result of a team's blood, sweat, and tears.

As a photographer, my mission is to step back and let the image do the talking. I aim to capture that fleeting moment where engineering meets art, transmitting the elegance of the sport through pictures that speak for themselves.

MOTOGP
CIRCUITO DE BARCELONA-CATALUÑA

Observing the Honda HRC and Aprilia MotoGP development teams at Montmeló was unforgettable. Even with my main camera out of commission, I was able to secure these shots using my secondary body. Technical challenges aside, simply being there was breathtaking; easily one of the best moments I’ve ever experienced.

PERSONAL
ALL AROUND SPAIN

This is my most personal work—primarily street photography, but also exploring portraiture, macro, and fashion. It is here that I sharpen my senses and deepen my understanding of the image, fostering growth both as a professional and as an individual.

I shoot using a mix of digital (mainly), 35mm, and medium format analog film.

CORPORATE
ALL AROUND SPAIN
