Marcelo Londoño
I am an experienced photographer specializing in ethnographic research methods, boasting a comprehensive academic background in film, history, and anthropology. Devoting more than fifteen years to documentary photography and investigative audio-visual work across four continents, including India, Cape Verde, Brazil, Portugal, Colombia, Bolivia, Venezuela, and others, my work stands as a powerful testament to the impactful nature of storytelling. Each chapter of my journey unveils meaningful narratives, contributing to a deeper comprehension of the human experience.
