María Paula Martínez Jáuregui Lorda is a Mexican documentary photographer committed to social and humanitarian issues worldwide.

Her work is dedicated to defend human rights, social change and the protection of the environment. Focusing on youth, feminism and nature beauty topics, María Paula has documented, along her journeys, problems that deserve our attention.

She is part of the international organization Photographers Without Borders where she has carried out projects around the world documenting the humanitarian work of different NGO’s in India, Malawi, Mongolia, Ukraine, Armenia, and Brazil.

In January, she carried out a project with Harvard University in the Kutupalong Refugee Campo in Cox´s Bazar in Bangladesh, the biggest refugee camp of the world.

María Paula is the first Mexican woman in getting certified as a drone pilot and has explored the world from an aerial perspective.

Her love for volcanoes has led her to work on a project she started four years ago by documenting the majesty of Mexican mountains and the speed at which the few glaciers left in Mexico melt due to global warming.

She has also worked in projects about the conservation of marine life in Mexican seas.

In 2020, she worked on a project that consisted on documenting, from May to October, how the Covid-19 pandemic was dealt with in hospitals of Mexico City. This project will end with a book that will be published in 2021.
