About

Welcome to Studio PFP!

I am a fine art photographer with a love of black and white photography. I love to work in black and white because of the timeless quality it gives to the images I produce.

Born in Panama, I have travelled extensively and lived in the USA, France, Spain, England, Colombia. Argentina, and Mexico. 

I currently split my time between my flat in Paris (spring and fall) and New York / Maryland (summer and winter months). I love showing people around Paris!

 I am currently working on several new projects.   The most recent is a project of B&W fashion model images shot in the streets of Paris, Berlin, and New York. 

Several of my vintage black and white art nudes were selected for the Julia Louis Dreyfus film "You Hurt My Feelings" that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.

In addition to my figurative photography, I also have an interest in visual anthropology, stimulated by Claude Levi-Strauss and his classic work “Tristes Tropiques.”

My photography has been exhibited in Paris (Art Capital 2026, Delta Galerie, New Orleans (Boulier Gallery), Washington D.C. (Gallery 564) and Mexico (San Miguel Photography Gallery) among other ventues. 

I have conducted many studio and on location workshops in the USA (Washington D.C, Miami, New York, New Orleans) and in Europe (Spain, Portugal).

My photographs are made using both digital and film cameras and different bodies depending on the subject and location: Leica rangefinders / Canon / Hasselblad 503C.

Thank you for visiting, your comments are welcome.
