Argentine Pampas wetlands wildlife

Argentina | Wednesday, July 3, 2013 | 5 photos

I was born in a little town of the most productive agricultural region of Argentina. I grew up between farmers and, since I was young, the nature and cultural aspects of my region captivated me. Love for the nature guided me to study Natural Resources and Environment Engineering. This gave me a deeper knowledge about animal behavior and natural process. Then, the passion for photography appeared as a need to immortalize threatened species and fragile environments.
In the last years I have been photographing species of vulnerable wetlands. In this personal project I used new techniques to obtain original images and attractive points of view. These photos integrated an exhibition in my city, whose objective was to generate conscience about this situation.
I love photography because it allows me to show biological and cultural biodiversity and helps to their conservation. I have several projects on my mind and I think that this scholarship is a great opportunity to experience how a professional photographer works, improve my techniques and vision, taking better images of wildlife and communities to reflect their importance.
