In this conversation, Francisco and I talk about wild horses, particularly those being threatened in Canada. We also dive into the power of creativity and how our love for horses has informed our participation in the creative process.

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.

Not just the world of sports has 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. With his unique artistic journey coupled with a deep love for horses and western scenes, Francisco decided to go back to his early painting days to create equine art.

This new practice feeds his deep passion for the equine world while being able to continue with his photography career. You will find him often photographing the Alberta Wild horses located an hour away from his home.

Born and raised in Mexico City, you’ll find Francisco in his new home Cochrane, CA. He feels connected to the Western vibe of the city and 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.
