About Daniel

GET
TO KNOW ME!

I'm really a Computer Scientist, but coding and programming crushed my soul! So I grabbed a camera and started enjoying life :)

So let’s jump to the important stuff right away! I’m a hardcore Star Wars fan and also a huge Potterhead, I know for a fact that the force is strong with me and that the sorting hat sent me to Gryffindor.  I enjoy music festivals and concerts more than a normal human being should and although I listen to all kinds and sorts of music, Metallica is my top favorite band in the whole world, I’ve seen the 8 times in concert and I hope I can see them 8 more :)

Traveling is my way of life, I need to hop in a plane to feel happy and alive and my favorite places in the planet are London, Amsterdam, Austin, Mexico City and Oaxaca :)

I was lucky enough to speak at TEDx one time and if your spanish is good, you can check out my talk HERE.

I also love to eat delicious food either from the fanciest restaurants to the most underground street food, I’ll eat it!

I also have a fascination for building Lego sets, I’m proud of my small collection of Star Wars and Harry Potter mini figs :)

... and if you want to know even more about me

My biggest passion in the planet is cinema. I think that there is nothing else in the world that inspires me more as going to the movies and watching and awesome director or an awesome cinematographer work their magic, it's just plain beautiful to admire art in movement.

I'm also the producer of a Podcast called El Toloache, where I interview mostly mexican women that are fearless, talented and inspiring and producing this podcast has pushed me to learn something completely new and to un-shy myself to go and meet people that I admire and I want to talk to them in person.

Hopefully, we'll get to talk about all of this and other adventures in person, if you got to this point of the About section and you didn't get bored and smiled a couple of times, I'm sure we'll have a blast working together and I'll be the happiest photographing you!

Daniel.
