In a random street of islamic Cairo there is a famous (locally) chicken market, where many vendors sit right in the street to make their living with their alive product ready to be sold. One of the women there caught my attention, the contrast between her black clothes together with the bright feathers of the chickens and the wall stones looked aesthetically beautiful, opposed to the feeling of seeing animals in cages. A mix of emotions walking over an animal market.

Born in Barcelona in 1983. While doing a degree in History, specialized in Egyptology, she discovered her passion for photography and studied photography and professional lighting. She combined both passions for a living, working as an archaeological photographer in Egypt, with national and international archaeological projects in Cairo, Luxor and Aswan since 2006, and photographing daily life in Egypt during her working stays in the country. She has exhibited in Jaén and Alcalá de Henares, with the topics of the results of the Spanish archaeological projects she currently works with in Egypt.
