JAZZ IS NOW

~My inspiration in jazz photography stems from the unspoken connection between musician and audience. I aim to freeze that profound emotion of a live performance, so its spirit can be felt long after the final note fades"~

I am a jazz photographer, documentarian, and storyteller, originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and residing in New York City since 1990. Inspired by my father's filmmaking career and my deep passion for jazz, I transitioned from feature films to focus my lens on the genre, notably serving as personal photographer for NEA Jazz Masters Jimmy Heath, Cedar Walton, and Roy Hargrove. This foundational work culminated in my project AM Jazz "Three Generations Under My Lens," a comprehensive photographic archive spanning over two decades of jazz greats. Recognized with the highest honors in jazz photography, including Best Photographer of the Year in 2019 and the Lifetime Achievement Award in Jazz Photography in 2024 from the Jazz Journalists Association, my work, including my book AM JAZZ "Three Generations Under The Lens," is preserved in permanent museum collections, notably as the first female contemporary jazz photographer with work in a museum. I continue to actively photograph, publish, and educate within the global jazz community.
