Twenty years where
the story happens

Press coverage that took me from Mendoza to Chile: Pope Francis's visit, wildfires on the front line, official events, football, shows and those moments that only happen once.

The Pope's visit

Chile · 2018

I traveled to cover Francis's visit: the crowd waiting, the popemobile passing by, and that smile that appeared just as the lens was ready.

On the front line

Fires, floods, the pandemic. When the news is hard, the camera has to be there too — with respect, and until the end.

Official events and behind the news

From the halls of Casa Rosada to the 2019 eclipse, from the newspaper's printing press to waiting for the right wave: the craft is also what happens behind the scenes.

Football and shows

From the goal that a whole country celebrates to the Vendimia main stage: fields, stages and stands are also the front line.

The craft, in motion

This is what a day of photojournalism looks like from the inside — footage by my colleague @fotoiblanco, companion on so many front lines.

Doing photojournalism

Archive and the street

Sports, tradition, and also the uncomfortable stories: animal mistreatment, the street, the protest. Photojournalism looks in every direction.

Animal welfare

Documenting is also denouncing: monkeys and lions locked in zoos, without the space or the life they deserve.
