Youngest of three I grew up in Caracas, Venezuela, studied Law as well as Music Production, graduated very young and moved to NYC many moons ago pursuing a career in Djing and dance music. After many sleepless parties and clubs I realized by serendipity that I had an urge for photography and that it was a much sought after connection with fine arts, design, decorative arts and advertisement. I picked up a camera and started shooting antiques, mid-century furniture, jewelry and fashion accessories, after different publications and designers (Vogue, NY Post, Trace Magazine, Complex) started noticing my work and commissioned me projects I built the confidence to go back to school and formalize my relationship with photography, attended a Photography MPS program at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) and started a career in still life, catalogs, portraits, real estate, food, architectural and travel photography working with companies such as Warby Parker, Bloomingdales, Soul Cycle, Sephora, Corcoran, Citi Habitats, Douglas Elliman, W Mag, NY Post, Vogue, Michael Pashby Antiques, Trace Magazine, Narciso Rodriguez, Marc Jacobs, The Sandwich Shop and Chanel.
My work is prolific in original fine art, real estate, interiors, portraits, still life and food. My art work sells through Picon Gallery www.picongallery.com, my interior photography, videos, 3d Virtual Tours and corporate portraits through Picon Virtual Tours www.piconvirtualtours.com and my still life and food are partially displayed on www.piconphoto.com
I currently live in Brooklyn, NY with an incredible Chef and wife Clarisa Penzini and a spoiled fat Cat named Camilo ;)
