About | fish-say-cheese

Underwater photographer, award-winning film producer and eco-tourism activist, I have been sharing my love for the ocean and its creatures for the past decade. I have worked hand in hand with fishing communities in Baja to develop open ocean tourism as an alternative to fishing, and produced the award winning documentary film México Pelágico. As the Founder and early CEO of Pelagic Fleet, I always supported research and conservation efforts by scientists and non-profits (both external and my own) and also envisioned, designed, and led the refit of the Socorro Vortex, a 140ft diving vessel and one of the toughest and most ambitious luxury liveaboards out there.

As an underwater photographer I have documented unique, never before seen marine behavior. Swimming along orcas while they hunt pelagic rays in the Sea of Cortez, lurking amongst crocodiles and anacondas alike, or freediving with great white sharks in Guadalupe Island are only some of the moments that I have captured in my photographs. My work has been featured by National Geographic, Wired, Ocean Geographic, Apple and Samsung campaigns, among many others.

I have been an ambassador for Discovery, Nauticam, The Outdoor Journal, Blancpain, and two-time speaker at TEDx. I also hold a sit at the Advisory Board for the Revillagigedo National Park and the Guadalupe Island Biosphere Reserve.

My most recent projects include the adventure travel firm Baja My Love and The Hydrophone, a 10-episode limited podcast I produced and hosted during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
