I’m a London-based visual anthropologist, photographer, and filmmaker working with artists, galleries, and cultural institutions as a producer and image maker. My passion for visual storytelling is rooted in cinema and contemporary art. Since 2010, my work has appeared in major publications and I worked for 6 years in Harper’s Bazaar Argentina, where I documented artist’s in their studios. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong focus on artist portraits, drawn to the intimacy and energy of creative environments.

I have built in-house studios for brands including The Cambridge Satchel Company and Feelunique (formerly Sephora), and I currently work as a Creative Producer and Events Manager at Victoria Miro Gallery in London, collaborating closely with leading contemporary artists. Alongside this, I run my own studio, creating portraits for artists and developing my personal practice.

My artistic work explores the relationship between body, landscape, and ancestral memory. I approach the body as a sensitive archive, an instrument capable of reactivating ancient knowledge and revealing the spiritual continuity embedded in place.

I hold an MA in Visual Anthropology from Goldsmiths, University of London, where my research focused on identity and environment.
