In December 2022 the Argentinian football team won its third World Cup after 36 years, and a wild crowd came out to the streets: men, women, children, old folks and families staged a massive ritual made of happiness, passion, pride and emotions. It was to be expected: football is part of the identity of Argentines. When the champions arrived, their caravan moved more than 4 million people in Buenos Aires. I was part of both days submerged in a human sea sodden of joy, hugs, singing, beer, water and “crazy snow”, which bathed us all in a feeling of communion and complete plenitude.

I was born and live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I do street, documentary and social photography. I love walking through the streets, observing their dynamics and details, talking to people, learning about their lives, strengthening ties, and all of that permeates my work. Besides, I always felt like a fish in water among the crowds, whether at a sporting event, a popular festival or a protest demonstration. At this stage of my life what interests me most is to continue transforming myself through these experiences and evolving along with my photographs.
