About My Work

Photojournalism

As an independent reporter for Terracultura, I explore and document the intricate connections between the environment, culture, and traditions, using impactful photojournalism to raise awareness and foster global understanding.

Documentary Film

Through documentary filmmaking, I explore human stories encountered during my travels. Each film is built around real encounters, focusing on everyday life, lived experiences, that shape individual and collective narratives.
