Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception


Washington, DC--The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Inmaculate Conception at 400 Michigan Avenue NE, is one of those places that you must visit if you happen to be in DC. It is truly amazing, size-wise. It has a beautiful collection of altars dedicated to the Virgin Mary under all of her given names around the world.

I am a freelance photographer and photojournalist who moved to Washington, D.C., in 2003 from Caracas, Venezuela. During my 15 years as a photographer, I have traveled the world collecting images for work and pleasure. I have taken photographs throughout the Americas, Europe and Australia, focusing on cityscapes and architecture as well as the simplicity of landscapes and people.

I studied architecture at the University of Tennessee and then returned to Venezuela to earn a B.A. degree in communications from Universidad Católica Andrés Bello in Caracas.
I was a photographer and photo editor for publishing companies while doing freelance work for local and international media outlets.

I was born to a Venezuelan mother and a Belize-American father, some of my earliest memories are of hurrying through airport terminals with a camera around my neck. I was raised in Brazil and Venezuela, and I am fluent in Spanish and proficient in Portuguese.
