Two years later I moved to London and soon after I got published my first fashion spread for ID magazine. Always following my curiosity, I explored since many sides of this profession: from fashion, still life and portraiture to photojournalism, covering subjects such as the Kosovo War.
In 2006 I started to work with art director David Tortora and by 2009 we created Jeff orGina, a series of both, art and commercial projects where the use of image manipulation covers an integral part in the creative process. We like to define our work as anti-minimal, visually rich, realistic but categorically non real.
In 2013, after two years work in a team, we presented 'Proyecto Mírame, Lima', a series of 50 family portraits aiming to reflect the cultural, ethnical, religious diversities present within the Peruvian capital. Using a language that lies between photojournalism and creative portraiture, the project has represented a new direction in my professional journey, opening a new set of possibilities and giving me many satisfactions.
In 2014 I've deepen my research in photography as an art form working with architectural collages, nudes and light movement. At the same time, my first experiments with motion photography got selected to be exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery of London and La Gaîte Lyrique Museum of Paris.
By 2017 I had embarked myself into two different social projects: one of them deals with visual impairment and life after blindness, the other one is about the big changes of Spanish society in the last decades.

Cultural clashes. An extreme vision of the contradictory relationship between tourism and local morals.about the photographer
While studying architecture in the 80's in my hometown, Lima, I worked in the local newspaper as a journalist. Many of the articles had to be documented with photographs which made me take a camera and start to do my first pictures.Two years later I moved to London and soon after I got published my first fashion spread for ID magazine. Always following my curiosity, I explored since many sides of this profession: from fashion, still life and portraiture to photojournalism, covering subjects such as the Kosovo War.
