The Location

Who This Is For
Your Mentors
Documentary and street photographer of Belgian and Argentine origin, based in Brussels. Her work — published in the New York Times, BBC and National Geographic, and held in the collections of the Museum of the City of New York and the International Center of Photography — moves between the instinctive and the constructed, searching for the moment when a city reveals something true about the people who move through it. Author of Trapped (Daylight Books, 2024).
Documentary photographer based in Mexico, with eighteen years of practice as an architect before turning to the image. That formation never left her: her work is attentive to structure, to the way spaces shape the people inside them, to what accumulates over time rather than what passes in an instant. Her long-term projects have appeared in The Guardian, Forbes and Gatopardo. Member of Women Photograph and The Raw Society. Founder of Observadores Urbanos and editor of Mexico's first street photography anthology.
