About Francisco
Growing up as a whitewater kayaker, Francisco's life-long love of photography grew to a professional level while documenting his teammates during training and competitions. After suffering an unfortunate accident from dropping down a 60-foot waterfall, Francisco shifted his focus from kayaking to photography. Unwilling to give up the world of sports completely, he has built a career as a professional sports photographer, traveling around the world to work with brands like Nike, Monster Energy, Lululemon and Gatorade.
It is not just the world of sports that have informed Francisco’s photography practice. He has a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design and is deeply influenced by his love of the visual arts.This blend of qualities culminates into a natural intuition that allows him to communicate with athletes and advertising studios alike to get the most out their work together.
Born and raised in Mexico City, you’ll find Francisco in his new home, Calgary. He enjoys collaborating on projects and branching out on adventures whenever possible. He always enjoys returning to his first home, where you can spot him every now and then on the clear blue waters of Mexico’s south coast enjoying a good surfing session with friends.
You should get in touch, he would love to hear from you.

Testimonials
Francisco is so great and so easy to work with! He is friendly, agile in his methods, talented, and always so well prepared for shoots. Not only is he a “turn key” partner for us, but more importantly, he is amazing with people. As a brand, we value human connection and fun above everything… and he embodies those values so well.

Francisco is a very committed and passionate photographer. Quality, creativity, versatility and ingenuity are fundamental elements he displays in his work. In Monster Energy we’ve worked with him on several occasions and as a sports brand we look to collaborate with people that can meet our high standards. We look for consistency with quality, originality and fast turn around times. These are characteristics that Francisco has proven without a doubt and demonstrated in his work. He’s always willing to go above and beyond for his clients, keeps an open mind, is punctual and very easy to collaborate with.

Working with Francisco is always a fun and great experience. Francisco works really hard to understand your needs as a client and also to get the shots that will work for you. In my case, I like to let Francisco do his thing and I trust and know that he will provide material that will exceed my expectations. He's a world-class photographer but his work quality has not gone to his head, he's a trooper and will work in inhuman conditions to get the shot he needs. In Concept Racer, we had worked with top world photographers and if it was to me to choose in between all of them, without any hesitation I would choose Francisco as the best, most easy going and most hardworking one. Francisco has brought to my brand more of what I have paid and asked for.
