I just want to take pictures.
 Some days are good and some are not but
 what matters is to get out there and keep shooting.
—Juan Rodríguez Morales

I am a Spanish photographer based in Madrid. Afert finish my studies in Psychology I begin to study Photography at my hometown Alcobendas (Madrid). Since the beginning I am interested in documentary and street photography.  In 2011, I participated in a photo workshop with Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb, which changed my vision on photography. Some of my projects have been published in several digital media and I have participated in some collective exhibitions around the world.


Today, I am still working on street photography.
