Jahel is a Venezuelan documentary art photographer based in Barcelona. Her main interest is people. Her work starts from connecting, observing and making portraits of those who make her heart beat faster.
She is constantly exploring identity through personal projects that depict her journey through the Latin American diaspora or in Mexico with her ongoing projects. In her practice, she seeks to decolonise the image-making process, understanding the power of the camera as a tool.
Jahel is part of the Production team at Erika Lust Film, where she does creative development of stories, and when possible enjoys shooting in film sets, as stills photographer.
