Lima, 1963. Autodidact. I began working as a photojournalist in my hometown Lima in Peru, adding to my interest fashion and portraiture once I settled in London in 1985. My images has been published in many magazines including ID, Elle and Vogue, as well as newspapers like The Guardian, The Times and El País. I have covered different topics, from celebrity portraiture to events such as the Kosovo War in 1999.
I’m currently engaged in Fine Arts and Documentary projects.
