I was born in Mexico City, worked and studied photography at Eastman Kodak while training in minilab management and traditional darkroom techniques. Now I am steadily growing in the freelance world on matte painting, digital art/illustration and even some 3d modeling.

    Nice air overall, but how did you manage to be so off with her shadow, when you can actually see the light source?

    Lighting needs some serious work here. Very unbalanced and inaccurate, particularly around the girl. The smooth ice is very plastic-like- needs texturing. The ice where the girl is standing doesn’t fit in with the rest of image. This isn’t premium quality.
