Born in Madrid in 1873,^[1] his photographs appeared in publications such as Blanco y Negro, ABC, El Grafico, News, Nuevo Mundo, Mundo Gráfico or La Esfera, among others.^[2]

He was one of the photojournalists who would accompany King Alfonso XIII on his travels.^[3] 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.^[4]

He was assassinated during the Spanish Civil War on 6 December 1936^[5] in the Guadalajara^[6] prison as a result of his pro-monarchist views.
