He specialises in landscape astrophotography, combining starry skies with natural scenery through long exposure techniques and astronomical planning. He has documented some of the darkest skies in South America. NASA has selected six of his images as Astronomy Picture of the Day, earning him international recognition. He is the first SONY Alpha Friend in Uruguay.

He recently received an official invitation from NASA to witness the launch of the Artemis II mission, scheduled to launch between February and April 2026.

In addition, he produces educational content, delivers workshops and one-on-one tutoring in astrophotography, and publishes a monthly astronomy briefing called El cielo del mes for his community.
