I trust my instincts, simply because I have ZERO patience

They opened up the world to me. It made me realize the power of a single image to transport, inform, and move.

Instinct. I like to respond to the rhythm of the street.

Feeling motivated by an event that captivates my attention. If I feel that it hits me, that it moves me, that it paralyzes my heart and raises questions, I start working.

I deeply want my photos to capture not just the wild, but the soul within it. Something raw, emotional, and real.

The most crucial decision in my career development was migration.
PHOTO CONFESSIONAL: Adriana Loureiro
I am interested in how our brains work in relation to images and the construction of memory and creativity, for example.

I KEEP IT SIMPLE.
PHOTO CONFESSIONAL: Lucia Lamata
It’s really important. I love improvising and going with the flow, but when I step into a world that’s not my own, I feel the need to understand it better. It helps me approach everything with respect.
PHOTO CONFESSIONAL: Brais Lorenzo
I guess committing seriously to the path of photojournalism. It’s not an easy road.

In NYC in particular you are one in 8 million and what I’ve realised is that the more you look into your identity and your origins, the better is the outcome of your projects.

212: WORLD PRESS PHOTO 2025
I had to work fast. My camera doesn’t handle high ISOs well, so I kept it at 1600. I was using a Nikon Z6 II with a 24mm f/1.8 prime lens, which allowed me to open the aperture as much as possible. I set the shutter speed to 1/160, a bit of a risk given the movement, but it was necessary to expose the scene properly in the low light.
ON LOCATION:
My experience as a migrant transformed my approach to photography, particularly as a portraitist, using the medium to foster connections. Buenos Aires exposed me to a vibrant art scene and impactful exhibitions, yet also prompted me to reflect on my own practices against the backdrop of Argentina's strong documentary tradition and political discourse.

I wouldn't mind being a bus driver. Think of all the places you could go and the people you would meet along the way.
