I'm a Colombian documentary photographer whose work is dedicated to my community. The stories that I attempt to represent are my desire to document, since they deal with themes related to human rights, Identity and social issues; this in order to exteriorize the bond and the empathy that I always try to establish with those who are photographed and in this way deliver a part of myself in each story seeking to understand and recognize my own story through others.
Awards and Recognitions:
Selected 7th annual New York Times Portfolio review, New York - USA (2019)
Selected Blink Portfolio Review, New York - USA (2018)
Selected Festival Errante & National Geographic Portfolio Review, Montevideo - Uruguay (2017)
Finalist 21° Latin American Documentary Photography Contest “Los Trabajos y los Días” in Medellín (2015).
