About Marcos
Marcos Adandia began studying photography in 1988, and since 1993, has worked as a photojournalist for the news agency, Noticias Argentinas. He has published work in several newspapers and magazines, including Rolling Stone, Elle, Tres Puntos, Jornal do Brasil, Mother Jones, and Luna Cornea, a Mexican photography publication.
Adandia's photographic essays have documented the military dictatorship and economic crisis in Argentina, AIDS and sexuality, mothers with HIV, drug addiction and families in the streets, Che Guevara's return to Cuba, and most notably "Diana", an award-winning essay about an HIV-positive transvestite who was disowned by her family and turned to a life on the streets as a prostitute. Adandia followed her as she moved from jails to hospitals, with no one to turn to for help. When she died in 1996, only Adandia was there to claim her body.
Adandia teaches workshops on "The Approach to the Photographic Essay" and exhibits his work throughout Mexico, Cuba, and Argentina.
