Jose was born in New York City, but raised in it's shadows across the river in Union City, New Jersey.  He began his photographic career in the 5th grade.  He attended many photography classes throughout elementary and High School.  Growing up, he always had a camera in his hand.  His teachers recognized his talent early.  In his senior year of high school he applied and was accepted to the prestigious New York School of Visual Arts in New York City. He attended classed there for 1 semester and dropped out, because he felt that he was not learning enought photography and was not developing his skills.  A decision he has regretted ever since.  He then moved to Miami and put down the camera for a few years to pursue a career as a Radiologic Technologist.  Here he used many of photographic skills to obtain a different type of image.  Throughout the last few years he has again re-taken up photography.  Now he is ready to share his skills with the world.
