Volcanic Ash, Sky Gradient

There have been some really interesting skies recently in Buenos Aires with the volcanic ash from the eruption in Chile passing through.

Johan Roets of Standard Bank for the Financial Times

I shot some portraits a few days ago of Johan Roets, the head of Standard Bank in Argentina. It was for a story for the Financial Times. Here's the photo that ran with the piece:

Here's a link to the story. I think you need to be registered with the site in order to read it.


Here's an outtake from the session. The blurry neon sign in the background is the bank's logo:

Dancer Portrait

My friend Daniel is a dancer. He needed some pics for auditions and stuff so he came over the other day for a brief session.


I've got nice light in my new place in San Telmo. It would be a shame to let it go to waste.

Back in Buenos Aires

As of about three weeks ago I'm back in Buenos Aires. I'm not sure how long I'll stay but I should be here until at least October. I left my small pocket camera with a friend in Colombia so I won't be posting here as much in the past. Still, I'll try to throw up a few pics when I can.


Here's a few pictures I took walking through Puerto Madero this morning on my way to a freelance job [I'm available if you're looking]. With the recent volcanic eruption in Patagonia, the skies here have been incredible.
