My story with light began at the age of 16, amidst the scent of chemicals and the magic of the darkroom. Learning to develop my own film taught me that photography isn’t just a click, but a process of patience and revelation. That initial spark transformed into passion while I studied Graphic Design, where I deepened my technique and began documenting events with an increasingly professional eye.

2015 marked a turning point with the opening of my own studio in Chile. However, the brightest chapter arrived in 2018 when I met Bianca, my wife. She became the heart of Philtro, contributing that sensitivity and subtle touch of femininity that ultimately defined our identity. Together, we turned this craft into an unstoppable adventure.

At the end of 2023, we took on a new professional challenge by moving to the United States, establishing our home and business in Madison, Wisconsin, where we officially opened our doors in early 2025.

From weddings and baptisms to quinceañeras, sweet sixteens, and corporate events, we have had the honor of being the guardians of the most iconic moments for countless individuals and companies. Our experience grows with every story we tell through the lens, but we don’t want to say more... we prefer to let our photographs speak for us.
