Woman dressed in the old Traje de Vistas, bridal clothing from La Alberca village, Salamanca, Spain. The silver and coral jewels that cover her clothing are eclectic symbols of Christian, Jewish and Muslim cultures, they reflect light in a very special way, creating a magical effect on the scene. Covered with the headdress, only her eyes can be seen, which transmit an enigmatic aura. This photograph, thanks to its beauty and symbolism, invites the viewer to delve into the history and culture of the area, transporting them to bygone times and making them feel part of the scene.

My professional and academic trajectory passes through different countries. I have a degree in Hispanic Philology and has studied Anthropology, Marketing and Communication. My work focuses on photographic projects for companies and institutions dedicated to cultural, tourism and social development activities. My project Visual Anthropology – Identity and Heritage – is an essential archive to get to know our cultural heritage in a deep and reflective way, highlighting the work of promoting and disseminating the tangible and intangible heritage of the territories.
