I am thirty years old and I live on the Otago Peninsula – it is quite magical. I live with my parents and my sister lives in Auckland. The four of us are from Bolivia. I did primary in Sydney and high school in Dunedin. I did one year of Digital Photography at Aoraki Polytechnic. I had lots of fun, met new faces from lots of backgrounds. Photography was something I really wanted so I fought for it. I also like swimming, for 15 years I’ve been swimming in Moana Pool – the waters of Danyon Loader! Light and contrast are what first interested me in photography. I used to be the paparazzi, the camera man, of the family. Somehow I was obsessed with it – that started my career as a photographer. I have now done five exhibitions – three in Bolivia, two in Aotearoa. I have an Instagram account and I also have a website of my work.
