Women by Women: A Shared Vision: Foto Féminas.

During this experience, I once again noticed the lack of Latin American female photographers’ representation, at least in the online world. This self-imposed role as researcher, interviewer, and photo editor, combined with my university thesis and personal interest in photography and the representation of women, led me to the idea of creating ​​Foto Féminas.

In 2014, I decided to create an accessible web platform with the goal of publishing a monthly online feature — in both, English and Spanish — by Latin American and Caribbean photographers. The first publication was in January 2015 featuring the work of Argentine photographer Lorena Marchetti, whom I had previously interviewed for Ventana Latina.

Today Foto Féminas has over 100 features, we have organised talks, projections, exhibitions and run a reference library, which we have displayed at various photography events.

In our current times, what do you think are the major challenges the Latin American female photographers are facing? Do you have any tips that could help these artists overcome them
