Welcome to my brand-new blog!
I’m so excited to bring back Pixeles: my photography column at the University of Informatics Sciences in Havana, Cuba. Back then, it was more than just a column. It was a spark. It was the beginning of my journey as a photographer and storyteller.
This blog marks a return to those roots, where passion and purpose meet in every frame.
To begin, I want to share something incredibly close to my heart: a small collection of my favorite portraits of my niece, Ilen María.
Meet Ilen María: The Light of Our Lives
Ilen María came into our lives 4.5 years ago and changed everything for the better.
Maybe it’s the auntie goggles talking, but this child is something special. With words far too clever for her age and a mind that moves faster than lightning, I’m certain she’ll go far.
These images are just a few of my favorite portraits of her from 2019. They hold memories, moments, and all the magic that childhood brings.
Photography Tip of the Day: Let the Kids Be Kids
When you photograph your children, let them play. Let them move, laugh, and be themselves.
That is when the magic unfolds.
You may think you want perfectly posed portraits, but what you will truly treasure years from now are the candid moments. The real ones. The ones that show them just as they were.
Also, a simple but powerful tip: take photos at eye level. It creates a stronger connection and brings their world into focus.
