In 2021, she graduated with a Master’s Distinction degree in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography from London College of Communication.  During the Covid-19 pandemic, her photo-story “Coronavirus in Argentina” was published at one of the largest newspapers of Argentina (La Nación newspaper). In 2019, she was shortlisted for the Youmanity, “Friend-Ship” awards where her photo was to be exhibited at the Houses of Parliament in London. (Postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic).

At the moment she is working on a series that began in 2018, exploring new perspectives through aerial photography and questioning the boom of our visual culture.

 
 

SALT FORMS VI | 2018

Her interest in photography searches for a balance between behind the scenes imagery, capturing the human story, and aerial photography. The latter searches for new perspectives to question the boom of our visual culture. Drone photography becomes a tool used to expose how visual abstraction leads you through a surreal dream-like experience: to explore how aerial footage can alter our point of viewing the planet and impact on our perception of non altered landscapes.
