Paula Guardián is a Spanish documentary photographer trained at the International Center of Photography in New York. Her work focuses on people and the territories that shape them, tracing how dignity, resilience and quiet forms of resistance appear in everyday life. 

She approaches each story slowly and with care, seeking to portray individuals as whole and fully present, not as symbols, but as protagonists of their own landscapes.

Working primarily with analogue processes, she is developing long-term projects that explore the relationship between community and territory
