Florence Goupil is a French-Peruvian documentary photographer based in Peru. Her work explores the intersection of ethnobotany, the environment, human rights, and the living memory of Indigenous communities across the Amazon, the Andes, and Latin America through a multimedia approach.
Her projects have been exhibited at Les Rencontres d'Arles, the International Center of Photography (ICP), the Photoville Festival, and the Bronx Documentary Center in New York. Her work has been published in The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic, Polka Magazine, The British Journal of Photography, Fisheye, and Atmos, among others. Since 2020, Florence has been a grantee of the National Geographic Society and the Pulitzer Center RJF. That same year, she received the Getty Images Reportage Grant and was recognized by the PhMuseum Women Photographers Grant. In 2021, she was awarded by the Wellcome Trust Foundation, the POY Latam as Ibero-American Photographer of the Year, and received the Nouvelles Écritures Award from La Gacilly Festival in France.
Her co-created short films, Cumbia's Day and Cuidantsiqmi, were recognized at Shorts México, Felina Festival in Chile, and the Festival International du Film de Nancy in 2023. Actively working along the Brazil-Peru border, she documents the threats of extractive industries in the Amazon and advocates for the rights of uncontacted peoples. In 2024, she was awarded the Magnum Foundation Fellowship on New Perspectives.
