My work has received several grants as Cultura Resident Grant from Consorci de Museus de Comunitat Valenciana, Cidades na Cidades from CI.CLO Plataforma de Fotografia and PhotoEpaña, VEGAP Grant, or the Creation Art and Photography Grant of the Goverment of Navarra, and has been recognized in different competitions being finalist in the Lensculture Street Photography Awards , Encontros da Imagem Festival, or the Luis Ksado Photographic Creation Price. I self-published my first photobook about the project "Summertime", that was selected as one of the Iberoamerican Photobooks in Feira do Livro de Fotografia (Lisbon) and SCAN Photobooks Award (Tarragona, Spain).
Actually I work as a freelance photographer, teacher and cultural manager, combining it with the development of my personal projects focused on the relationships between the human being and our environment, concerning topics related with tourism, migration and territory.
