Biography
I am a documentary photographer and I was born in Cartagena, Colombia (1987). I finished my photography studies at LaSalle College in Bogotá and have focused on personal photography projects since then. I have had individual exhibitions in the United States, Mexico and several places in Colombia, and collective exhibitions in UK, the United States, Bangladesh, France and Colombia.
I have won several honors including being selected as a student of "The Eddie Addams Workshop", The New York Times Lense Blog portfolio review, shortlisted for the Lucie Foundation scholarship program, the Ian Parry London exhibit, Special Merit Award for Magazine Black & White, finalist in the National Geographic year photo in 2011 and was a spokesperson for UNWOMEN at the Commission on the Status of Women in New York in March 2017.
My work aims to represent concepts such as birth, death, love and the different stages of life that are vital for human beings, concepts that can not be explained, talked about and much less photographed.
My personal projects are mainly related to women issues as I believe that femininity is where life is created in a biological, anthropological and mythological way.
