Freelance journalist based in Guadalajara. His work focuses primarily on the environment, humanitarian crises, and, in recent years, the violence in Mexico resulting from wars between organized crime gangs.

In 2014 he received the Young Creators’ Scholarship from the National Fund for Culture and the Arts with his project Colateral, postales de la destrucción, which allowed him to travel around Mexico documenting the environmental impact of human activities. That same year, he won the Momento Cero Award and the Reportage Award at the 2014 Photofest photojournalism festival. He has won three Gabo awards for various works in Latin America related to violence, and in 2018, his coverage of the Fuego volcano eruption in Guatemala won the Current News category at the Picture of the Year Latin America awards. In 2018, his work on forced disappearances in Mexico was selected as one of the best portfolios at the Lumix Festival for Young Visual Journalism in Hannover, Germany.
