Quintina Valero is an award-winning photojournalist currently based in Spain. After a career in finance, in 2001 she moved to London (UK) to study photojournalism at the University of the Arts. Since then, Quintina has worked as a press photographer for English newspapers while developing and producing photographic stories on social issues with an emphasis on migration and minorities communities.
Quintina's work has been featured in online and print media such as Stern, The Guardian, Sunday Times, Thomson Reuter Foundation, Internationale, BBC, SIPA Press, L'Obs, LensCulture, El País, XL Semanal. Her latest projects about sex trafficking and the impact of Chernobyl’s nuclear accident have received international awards including the Lensculture Emerging Talents Award 2016 (The Netherlands), Festival della Fotografia Etica: Documenting Humanity 2016 (Italy), and the Photo Press Contest Award 2017 (Ukraine). My work has been exhibited in Ukraine, Brazil, Colombia, Spain, Italy, the UK, and Germany.
Quintina has received training as an Arts Leader with extensive experience designing, managing, and facilitating artistic and educational workshops working with vulnerable groups in schools and community centers.
In 2015 I joined the Food of War, a multidisciplinary art collective that explores the relationship between food and conflict to raise awareness of the impact on the environments and communities.
