I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.

You can call me Isma!

Photographer/Designer

My name is Ismael, but my friends usually call me Isma. I'm a photographer and graphic designer based in Mexico City. My career as a graphic designer led me to sports and adventure photography, moving me from the desk (designing brand identities and websites) to the heights (hanging on a rope with the camera, literally).

Nowadays, I'm an experienced photographer in different fields, understanding movement, light and scale, as well as their power in an image to influence a call to action. These attributes are present in my action, portrait, architecture, and commercial photographs developed by me, mixing them with the knowledge of studio photography.

As a passionate person for stories, my desire to create images with powerful messages is an incessant chase of new ways to innovate and connect with different people, cultures, sports and landscapes.

I'm glad you've read this far; now, let's talk about your stories to capture in images!
