My name is Tochiro Gallegos, although many know me as TochirocK. Originally from northern

Mexico, I have chosen to live in vibrant Mexico City since 2002, the year I began my career in

photography. Since 2008, I have dedicated myself exclusively to this art, which has become

my only source of sustenance and passion.

Throughout my career, I have explored various photographic disciplines, including

documentary, portraiture, social, advertising and commercial. This variety has provided me

with the necessary skills to work on the shooting of large films and series, where it is essential

to combine the patience of a documentary filmmaker, the creativity of a portraitist and the

skill of a social photographer. Capturing still images on a set may seem simple, but the

challenge begins by adapting and making cinematic lighting your own, starting the true magic

of visual creation.

I recognize that I am a person with a variable discipline; My motivation fluctuates intensely  from one day to the next, something that I consider part of the artistic spirit. Over time, my  approach has become more selective, seeking to capture and share only what truly resonates with me. My works are deeply personal and intimate; Through them I seek not only to express but also to catalyze my emotional and creative processes. During my exhibitions, I prefer not to explain my work, opting instead to observe how viewers connect and interpret each piece in  their own way.

Although my work includes digital techniques, I am often drawn to analog, enjoying the feeling of connecting with the roots of traditional photography. Interaction with people is fundamental in my creative process, especially when developing portrait ideas. Although I use self-portraiture as a means of expression, I feel more comfortable and fulfilled in expressing  through others.

The street is another scenario that inspires me deeply; capturing everyday life motivates me and enriches my artistic vision. Photography is, for me, a means of sharing; I believe that its  value lies in the possibility of showing my interpretation of life to others, thus completing the  cycle of visual communication.
