As a photographer in Costa Rica, the essence of photography is capturing that fraction of a second where light, form, and action align to reveal the essence of an event. I believe photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms that give that event its proper expression. Working as a Costa Rica photographer provides me with endless opportunities to witness these moments unfold.

I have a deep desire to move freely throughout Costa Rica to take my time and, implicitly, a desire to live in my era. My work as a Costa Rica photographer is influenced by my travels and my insatiable curiosity about “what is happening elsewhere.”

I don’t talk about techniques, style, social criticism, or poetics when referring to my photography. Instead, I focus on the image itself, the memory of the moment, the physical emotion of the instant, and my taste for sharpness. My camera technique allows me great discretion at the moment of shooting. I am like an analyst, looking for coincidence as a way to demonstrate that the roots of the image are in the unconscious.

My creative vision is deeply linked to my curiosity about Costa Rica and its people. My experience with surrealism influences my ability to perceive the unexpected. I don’t look for allegories, but I am stimulated by reflections of the unusual, desolation, disenchantment, and poverty, revealing strangeness in everyday life. I am characterized by my insistence on “condensation,” meaning that as a photographer in Costa Rica, I must be completely present and ready to capture life “in the act of living.” I believe in the geometry of rhythm and the ability to recognize a “simultaneous coalition” of elements that make up a photograph.

On the other hand, my creative process involves great dedication and permanent preparation to capture the decisive moment. I am an attentive observer, moving discreetly and waiting for the instant when composition, light, and action converge. Through my lens as a Costa Rica photographer, I document not only landscapes and wildlife but also the cultural richness, agricultural traditions, industrial development, and artisanal craftsmanship that define this diverse country. My goal is to apprehend life in its entirety, always feeling like an apprentice in the process of development.
