Our planet has about 1.384 million of cubic kilometers of water, but only 36 of these are potable water.

Water gives life and it is a vital element, as it is photography for me. I have chased water for more than three decades, traveling to more than 30 countries, in three continents.

On an early age I started painting, influenced by Vincent Van Gogh. I’m an admirer of Ansel Adams work, and have followed his technique, but I have developed my own color version, specially related to Water.

My favorite places are National Parks, where I capture the images on 6×6 film (slides/B&W). After processing, all my work is digitalized at a very high resolution for cleaning, conservation and processing purposes, maintaining its original vision.

In order to have the feeling I had while taking them, you should view the images listening classic Rock music and a glass of wine.
