Natalia Favre is a documentary photographer and visual storyteller based between Cuba and Argentina. Her work explores social justice, human rights, and environmental issues through an intimate lens shaped by a gender perspective.
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 is the recipient of the 2022 Wil Riera Inspiration Award and a two-time grantee of the International Women’s Media Foundation. 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 Works Projects fellows for photographers working on stories addressing climate change and environmental justice. Her project, "Maloneras, Seeds of Resistance,” focuses on the struggles of Indigenous women leaders in northern Argentina. Supported by the National Geographic Society, she is currently developing a new chapter of this project, exploring the intersection of community-based rural tourism, Indigenous rights, and environmental conservation.
