1998. At the age of 21, after a few years assisting a stills photographer, joined Tilt Arrítmico, a production company/service. Lighting, gripping, and mostly ENG camera operating were the main duties of a very hard and great time next to Jaime Bordoy and the others.

2003. After working as a freelancer those years on TV jobs I started to work as a grip on TVC´s shot on 35mm and 16mm. First chance to be close to film stock motion picture cameras.That happened with Palma Pictures fellows.
I also started studies of Fine Art Photography at Escuela de Bellas Artes de Palma.

2004. I became camera trainee. I was taught by good friend PJ Knox at Palma Pictures. I did my first job as a Focus Puller this year. GodMan was the production Company. We did Goldfish, directed by Ed Sayers. Some say the DoP was Ed Rutherford, other say Ben Butler…

2006. After a great years as a 2nd AC I jumped on to the focus pulling world.

2012. Set a camera gear company together with good fellow and friend Martín Nigro and started DOPing more seriously.

2013…working on thecameraplusvan.com and kikoprieto.com.

2015. Camera Operating & DOPing.
