Born in Mexico City, Rodrigo discovered photography at the age of 8 years old at the celebration of his sisters First Communion. He attended “Colegio Americano de Fotografía Ansel Adams” where he majored in Communication Media Producing.
Since the beginning he has shown an explosive creativity in the field of art photography which has taken him to discover different genres--from Photojournalism to Forensic photography, from spontaneous portraits on the beach to formal studio sessions, from urban space context to special events such as weddings or shows, to the most common human situations. But on top of all, his heart was taken by how nature manifests, brings and offers.
Rodrigo moved to the Mexican Caribbean in the state of Quintana Roo, where he practices sub-aquatic activities, cave diving being one of them. This is where he did his first professional work as a photographer. He has been part of several Photo Studios where he learned, developed and mastered his creativity and skills in portraits, social events and weddings. At the same time on the science ground he took part and photographed in a documentary way a Subaquatic Archaeological Project at the Nevado de Toluca in 2010 and the “Galeón de Manila” project in Baja California in 2011--funded by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH, Mexico). In the later project some of his photographs participated on a international contest that promotes the “ Society for Historical Archaeology” taking two first places and a second place in different categories.
Thanks to his great versatility he also took part in the Extreme Altitude Dive World Record “Ojos del Salado, 6,390 m.s.n.m. 2010” in the Atacama desert, Chile. The final photographs are part of the latest catalog of the Swiss watch company “Azimuth”. His work can be found in several publications such as: “El Gran Azul”, magazine specialized in diving, Newspaper “El Norte” from Monterrey, Mx., magazine “Nuestra Boda”, magazine “Limite Vertical” and the front cover of the magazine “4 Vientos”
