Natalia Favre is an Argentinian photographer and visual storyteller based in Cuba and Argentina and working in Latin America. Her work addresses social issues through an intimate perspective, exploring the intersection of community, identity and territory.
Natalia holds a Bachelor's degree in Design and a Diploma in Documentary Photography, both from the University of Buenos Aires. With several years of experience in the cinema industry, she has been involved in every stage of storytelling, from pre-production to distribution. She is particularly interested in bringing multimedia formats into her documentary practice.
Her work was featured in media such as Washington Post, National Geographic, Bloomberg, Reuters, The Telegraph Magazine, BBC, among others, and her films were shown in several international festivals in Cuba, Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, Mexico and the US.
Natalia is a National Geographic Explorer, an Eddie Adams XXXV alumni and a proud member of Diversify Photo and Women Photograph. She was the recipient of the 2022 Wil Riera Inspiration Award and has received the Howard G. Buffett Fund for Women Journalists from the IWMF to work on a collaborative project on the Cuban youth exodus. In 2023, Natalia exhibited her work on the Cuban migration crisis at the Bronx Documentary Center’s Latin America Foto Festival in New York. She is one of the 2024 Art Work Projects fellows for photographers working on stories addressing climate change and environmental justice. Her project "Maloneras, seeds of resistance” focuses on the struggle of Indigenous women leaders of northern Argentina. Supported by National Geographic Society, she is currently working on a new chapter of this project, exploring the intersection of community-based rural tourism, Indigenous rights, and environmental conservation.
