Sobre

I offer a limited number of one-to-one mentorships for artists and photographers seeking to develop photographic projects with greater consistency, deepening both their research and their strategies for presentation and circulation.
 
This mentorship is designed for those who wish to:
– Start a new photographic project;
– Develop or deepen an ongoing body of research;
– Receive critical feedback on their practice;
– Organize research, writing, and project planning processes;
– Strengthen the conceptual framework and narrative of a project;
– Prepare work for grants, awards, artist residencies, exhibitions, books, portfolios, and other national and international opportunities for presentation and circulation.
 
Over the past several years, my work has been published by outlets including National Geographic, TIME Magazine, and The Washington Post. It has also been exhibited at leading international photography festivals, including Les Rencontres d’Arles, PhotoEspaña, Photoville, and the PhotoVogue Festival.
 
My practice has been recognized through major international photography awards, including the Sony World Photography Awards and POY-Latam. The experience gained through the conception, development, and international circulation of these projects forms the foundation of this mentorship.
 
Rather than a series of portfolio reviews, this mentorship is conceived as an ongoing process focused on the development of photographic projects at every stage. Each session is built around clearly defined objectives, directing attention to the most important aspects of each participant’s research and practice.
 
Sessions are thoughtfully designed to provide practical guidance, methodological tools, references, and critical discussions that support the artistic, conceptual, and strategic development of each project.
 
Every mentorship is tailored to the needs and pace of the individual participant. The process is designed to establish long-term goals, monitor the evolution of the work, and help build stronger, more coherent projects. A genuine commitment to the process is essential to ensure that each session leads to meaningful progress.
 
The mentorship supports artists at different stages of project development—from the initial conception of an idea, through research and production, to the final stages of editing, presentation, and circulation. Each programme is individually structured according to the participant’s needs, defining priorities and specific objectives for every session.
