After studying Politic Science in Spain, I started travelling and working in several European countries. I had the chance to approach the life of the agriculture seasonal workers, living and  working in some farms which produce vegetables for big companies. This reality motivates me to start taking pictures in a more serious way with the aim of documenting everyday life in these farms.

In 2008 i move to Barcelona to study Photojournalism and start a project of participatory photography in collaboration with FIAS (Fundació per la Innovació i la Acció Social) consisting in approach photography to women in prison through a series of workshops. This project gives me the opportunity to get in touch with these women and photograph them in different situations of their everyday life.

I work as a press photographer for a regional newspaper, El Progreso, in 2009.

In 2012 i move to Newport, South Wales, to start studying Documentary Photography.
