What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can shape editorial direction, apply rigorous visual analysis, and collaborate with artists on thoughtful photo-driven storytelling—building independent, culturally aware publications and projects with real production impact.

I’m a photographer, editor, and independent publishing practitioner working across visual culture, contemporary photography, and editorial production. I bring extensive experience in evaluating, selecting, and contextualizing visual content—reviewing large image volumes to judge quality, relevance, and cultural context, then making consistent editorial decisions across complex visual narratives.

As Founder and Editor of Sudario, I oversee the full editorial process from concept development to final publication, including content selection, sequencing, and collaboration with artists, designers, and production teams. I also teach visual storytelling, photo editing, and publishing—developing structured approaches to image analysis, narrative construction, and critical evaluation—while curating and producing exhibitions, workshops, and artist residencies through my independent cultural work.
