Maximino walking down the beach looking for the best location...

I’m 35 years old and approximately two years of having fallen in love with photography, I mean, I'm a late lover of this art. I'm from Costa Rica but I currently live and study in Mexico, why? because the world is very big and my bubble was small; I always wanted to experience life in another country and I have always loved to travel whenever I can, but living a long time outside of Costa Rica I had never done before.

Living in Mexico has greatly encouraged my passion for photography, on one hand, because this is a very photogenic country, full of colors, textures and contrasts, and on the other hand, because I have a bad memory and photo is the way in which I document my life here and guarantee I’ll remember it faithfully in the future.


I am a psychologist by profession, and now I’m studying Environmental Psychology, perhaps from there arises my interest to know places, people, environments and cultures. May be for the same reason I have sensibility to see and capture details that are insignificant to other people. I believe that it is exactly those details what makes me possible to communicate my vision of the world through a photograph, and to take people to places and situations that they could not know by any other way.

Well, I am responsible when it is necessary, but also know how to have fun and relax when the time is right; at the end, life is short and when it comes to an end I would like to be remembered by the moments that I lived and froze in a photo.
