Eva Marie Uzcategui
Photographer / Based in Miami
I am a Venezuelan photographer based in Miami, USA, since 2019.
I come from a family of photographers, mainly dedicated to portraiture, that had made photography part of me. I have been doing documentary photography for around twelve years, and for the last ten years, I have been documenting my family life practically every day.
For years, I had my eyes set on the street in photojournalism, but it was not until the beginning of 2019 that I could go out and do it. On second thought, that year, I dared to assume that this was what I wanted to do and went out to do it.
I am in full training and eager to learn and grow daily so that I can continue to witness what happens in our environment, that daily routine that makes it a habit and normality, to make complaints, and to spread the voice of those who need it.
I like working on breaking news a lot. The rush to run from one side to another to make it work excites me. But I also love having the time to get involved in a story, to go deep, and to be able to tell more about the people, their problems, or their achievements.
Since February 2019, I have worked for Getty Images, AFP, Bloomberg News, Anadolu Agency, El País, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, LA Times, and BBC Mundo.
Lately, I’ve started to get more involved with video. I’m working on recording interviews and B-rolls to complement my work.
I have HEFAT training, am available for new assignments in Miami, and am open to travel.
