Fine-Art Underwater Photography in Riviera Maya
I specialize in underwater cenote and ocean photography in the Riviera Maya, and I’m available worldwide to create stunning, meaningful visuals — designed to feel safe, guided, and unforgettable.
My journey into underwater photography is the result of a unique fusion of skills. With a Bachelor in Fine Arts and a Master’s Degree in Graphic Design, Communication, and Fashion Styling, combined with my experience as a Diving Instructor, I found my true passion: capturing the beauty of waterlight, movement, and emotion through my lens.
I’m also deeply specialized in fine-art portraits that explore the connection between the human body and nature, blending an editorial approach with soulful storytelling.
Cenote & Ocean Photoshoots for Couples, Brides & Adventurous Souls
Whether you’re planning a cenote wedding, a Mayan ceremony, a trash the dress, a birthday session, or simply want to create powerful portraits in nature, I will guide you through the entire experience — even if you’ve never done an underwater photoshoot before.
Most of my clients tell me the same thing:
“I felt nervous at first… and then you make me felt like a model underwater.” That’s exactly what I’m here for.
Why the Cenotes?
In Tulum, Playa del Carmen and all the Riviera Maya, I discovered my perfect natural studio: the cenotes. These sacred, crystal-clear waters offer a surreal atmosphere for creating dreamlike underwater portraits that feel intimate, powerful, and timeless.
Every cenote has its own energy, textures, and light — and I help you choose the perfect one based on your vision and experience level.
Full Creative Productions & Styling Included
You bring the idea, and I help bring it to life.
I create full productions for my clients, including:
Outfit styling guidance
Accessories and creative direction
Makeup recommendations
Posing + underwater coaching
- Spectacular rental dresses, accessories & handmade flower crowns
Fine-art editing with attention to detail
My goal is for you to feel confident, beautiful, and completely taken care of — from start to finish.
Ocean Expeditions & Wildlife Encounters
Beyond cenotes, I also create ocean expeditions and underwater encounters with marine wildlife, capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments between people and the sea through my lens.
I’ve assisted and participated in multiple retreats and underwater adventures, and I’m always open to joining new experiences around the world. My work has taken me from the waters of Tulum and the Riviera Maya to Baja California, the Bahamas, and French Polynesia, where I document authentic connection, emotion, and the raw beauty of the ocean in its purest form.
