Baptism of Mateo at St. Joseph’s Cathedral, Dunedin, NZ

For this project, I had the honor of capturing the baptism of Mateo, son of my friend Alejandro, a talented chef in Dunedin, New Zealand. The ceremony at the majestic St. Joseph’s Cathedral provided a stunning backdrop that enhanced the event’s solemnity and beauty. Using cinematic techniques, I highlighted intimate moments, leveraging natural light and the cathedral’s stained glass windows to create a warm and emotive atmosphere. The photos capture the priest’s blessing, the parents’ joy and tenderness, and the connection among attendees. Each image reflects the emotional depth of the moment and the cathedral’s detailed architecture. I also created videos that narrate the baptism from different angles, ensuring an aesthetically and emotionally impactful composition. This project showcases my technical skills and my dedication to those I care about.
