Chilean photographer. Her work transits between documentary photography and art, making visible realities that sometimes go unnoticed. In her career, she has focused on issues such as gender, human rights, migration and indigenous peoples, working mainly for NGOs and multilateral organizations such as UN Women, IOM, UNHCR, América solidaria and INDH. Her immersive work methodology has allowed her to deal with complex issues with great sensitivity, generating a complicity between those portrayed, the photographer and the possible audiences.
In her personal projects, a long-term work on indigenous peoples stands out, through the vision of a young Aymara friend named Deysi. She also highlights her work with Haitian migrants in Chile, with which she has denounced the living conditions of migrants in her country. Her latest ongoing project, with victims of human rights violations during the dictatorship in Chile, hopes to become a soon-to-be-published photobook.
She has exhibited in Chile, Spain, the United States, India and the United Kingdom, and has recently been recognized with the British Journal of Photography's Portrait of Humanity award.
She is currently dedicated to making documentary projects and territorial work with non-profit organizations.
