Hey,
I'm Rafa.
Landscape photographer based in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
From grass-roots
beginnings.
I have had a fascination for travel since I was a child, so photography came as a consequence of it. I got my first camera at the age of 10 when I was going to Disney for the second time. I made my father buy a cereal box that had a 110-type film camera inside. Since then I have sought to discover the world and show through my photography the most sublime places I visit.
I have a particular affinity for national parks.
The Process
01. Connect
Don't shoot what it looks like, connect to capture what it feels like.

02. Conceptualize
I take the same picture twice. First, with my heart, then camera.

03. Create
Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.
