About Maria

I was born in Argentina and have been living in France for almost eight years - first in Paris, then in Bordeaux for over three years.

If I am dedicated to photography today, it's because I initially chose another creative path. I studied fashion design at the University of Buenos Aires and worked in this field for several years.

After arriving in Paris, I started photographing little by little - first for people who needed a portrait, then for emerging fashion brands.

In 2019, I won the photography prize from the Louis Vuitton Foundation, which strengthened my desire to develop my career in this field. And with the 2020 lockdown, I found the necessary momentum to dedicate myself fully to art and photography.

Today, I continue to work on various projects according to my clients' needs: personal or professional portraits, collaborations with companies, as well as photographs dedicated to the performing arts - theater, concerts, or artists' projects.
