Hi! I’m Ignacio, or Nacho! Since I was a child I’ve had something for cameras, I just enjoy taking pictures, not sure what it is, but it’s there. And I’m fascinated by intelligent animal behavior , so at some point I put two and two together and started in this journey.
But it wasn’t always this way! I’m also a computer engineer and I’ve worked in video-game AI (see, the behavior thing again) for three years of my life. At some point I realized that I wanted to spend time out there, not in an office, so here we are.
Starting this journey I figured YouTube would be a good platform to showcase my work and to start building a portfolio, and to build a community around wildlife cinematography and how to become a professional on the field, I figured leveraging other social media platforms would be a good strategy. So if that sounds interesting to you, you can find all social links down below.
