Architectural Photography
for Architects, Developers & Editorial

Architecture exists at every scale — from the grain of a material detail to the relationship of a building to its landscape. I photograph both. My architectural work serves architects, developers, hospitality brands, and editorial publications across Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, New York, Miami, and the Americas — delivering imagery that performs at the level of Architectural Digest, Dwell, and the architectural press.

Based in San Juan, Puerto Rico with offices in New York and Miami, I bring the same precision to a Young De La Sota residence at Bahia Beach as to a commercial development in midtown Manhattan. Every project is approached as a potential publication — because most of mine end up in one.

My architectural photography has appeared in Architectural Digest, Dwell, Forbes, ELLE Decor, House Beautiful, Veranda, Robb Report, The Wall Street Journal, and more than 45 other titles. I am the Official Airbnb Luxe Caribbean Photographer and a Ritz-Carlton Certified Photographer.

Range of Work

Architecture at Every Scale

My architectural portfolio spans the full range of the built environment. On the residential side: luxury private estates, hilltop villas with panoramic views, beachfront homes on Caribbean coastlines, and architecturally significant private residences — including the homes of Ernest Hemingway (Cuba), Francis Ford Coppola (Belize), and Dick Clark (Turks and Caicos).

On the commercial and institutional side: corporate headquarters, financial institution branch buildings, medical facilities, retail and hospitality developments, recreational centers, and master-planned communities. My work for Wolfgang Puck includes restaurant exterior documentation alongside the food photography assignments that have taken me through his network of fine dining venues across the United States and Caribbean.

Internationally, I have photographed architectural landmarks across Italy, Spain, Cuba, Belize, and throughout Latin America — images that have appeared in major shelter and travel publications on both sides of the Atlantic.

Not images that require editorial correction. Every project I deliver is ready to submit.
