Professional development

She provides the setting, clothing and accessories that transform the original photograph.[4] Her creations include fine art photography that reflects a dreamy and magical world, fashion photography for catalogues, magazines and advertisements, and creative advertising photography. She also photographed a number of other works, such as Carlos Baute, Manu Tenorio, Carlos Escobedo and Razkin.
