Biography

Born in Madrid in 1873, his photographs appeared in publications such as Blanco y Negro, ABC, El Grafico, News, Nuevo Mundo, Mundo Gráfico or La Esfera, among others.

He was one of the photojournalists who would accompany King Alfonso XIII on his travels. Despite his dedication to the realm of royalty, he also made portraits, as well as took photos of religious, political and bullfighting events, even being sent as a correspondent to the Melilla War.

He was assassinated during the Spanish Civil War on 6 December 1936 in the Guadalajara prison as a result of his pro-monarchist views.
