Antonio is a Mexican-American photographer in Berlin, working across fine art, fashion portraiture, and commercial image-making.
His work explores identity, power, and transformation through dress, gesture, and space—crafted with a refined visual language that favors tension, nuance, and emotional depth.
With a background in editorial portraiture and an intuitive casting process, Antonio approaches each subject as a vessel for sensation, staging portraits that pulse with emotional undercurrent.
Influenced by psychological cinema and performance art, his images unfold with slow-burning tension. Stillness becomes a form of drama; desire is built through ambiguity and restraint. His work is marked by composure and emotional voltage—images that invite contemplation while vibrating with inner tension. Through styling and charged composition, he constructs moments of intimate dissonance—images that seduce slowly, revealing their complexity in layers.
Antonio’s visual world is defined by restraint, slow seduction, and carefully orchestrated dissonance—where intimacy, power, and transformation coexist in charged equilibrium. His work bridges artistic sensibility with brand clarity, crafted for clients who value mood, narrative, and visual exactitude.
Selected clients and publications include i-D, Odda, 10 Magazine (DE), Cap 74024, Numéro Netherlands, Yahoo!, Levi’s, Restoration Hardware, Foodspring, Yahmo, and Smava.l
