A swamp flower shines between all leaves.

Biography: I am a photographer born in Cuba and raised in Spain and the United States. I specialize in landscape and architectural photography. Landscape photography is to me the best cure for stress. There is a simple idealism in the subjective framing and presentation of a landscape in its best light that I find so very rewarding. Having grown up on an island and then moving to Miami, I have drawn my inspiration mostly from the surrounding water and lush vegetation. The heart and soul of my photographs generally come from the interaction of the light with the water and surrounding structures.
