He developed a unique technique and aesthetic for night photography, for which he is recognized today, receiving the Iris de Oro prize, and claimed the Best Photographer of the Year from the World Photography Organization. He has worked in many parts of the world including Japan, Italy, Surinam, and Argentina, among others, and published three photography books to date.
