Born in Quito, Ecuador, Anamaria Chediak studied in Boston and mastered photography in Madrid, which cemented her passion for sharing her world vision through visual stories. She is driven by an insatiable curiosity, born from her early explorations of the Andes and the Galapagos Islands.
Over the years, her work has led her to travel across continents, avidly capturing the essence of the cultures and natural worlds she encounters, while also being keenly aware of the inner journey one experiences, the insights and perspectives one acquires that nourish our lives in unexpected and remarkable ways.
As the environmental crisis has grown, she has found herself employing photography more politically, as a tool for raising awareness. Her exaltation of the natural world has increasingly become a cry for awareness and for change. “Time is running out. We are living an environmental crisis with unprecedented changes. I aim my photography to be a reminder of the responsibility we all have in working together as a whole, to protect vulnerable wildlife from extinction, restore threatened ecosystems and preserve communities with their unique and diverse traditions as a cultural legacy. Diversity should be the world’s strength, not an excuse for conflict”.
Chediak regards her most recent project ”Memories through the Liquid Desert Waves" as, technically, some of the most challenging images she’s created. They´re composed of different shots of domestic settings engulfed by desert sands,
