    Honorable Mention in People / Culture

Travel report introducing life in a picturesque paradise primarily famous for stunning landscapes. Bustling streets, markets, and the locals' way of life, marked by smiles and hopes in a tourism-dependent country. Tourism fuels the island's economy, alongside significant agriculture like sugarcane farming. The Dominican Republic is renowned for its top-tier tobacco and sugarcane, creating the perfect blend for rum and cigars, while coffee and cocoa thrive inland.

I was born and raised in Buenos Aires and since my childhood I breathed the atmosphere of this metropolis full of stimulus and different cultures. I alternate my work as a photographer to the research of visual arts. These activities are complementary to my fondness for images. As I move from one scene to another, I let my imagination wonder around and discover a story behind every face and every movement of a body, of a scenery or the city where I am living or visiting. With the help of my camera I try to tell how I see the world, free of any prejudice and conditioning.
