Vita Flumen

FUJI X Photographer

is a Mexican-Canadian photographer and a Fujifilm ambassador based in Mexico. With a prolific career in architecture before pursuing photography, Sandra’s photography focuses on urban life, such as human’s relationship to the environment and the narratives that arise between them. Her passion for these themes has fueled accomplishments such as creating the first book focusing on street photography in Mexico’s history, Antología de fotografía de calle mexicana. She’s also founder of Urban Observers: a platform dedicated to spreading and promoting Latin American street photography. She’s a member of Women Street Photographers,  Women Photograph, pro member of The Raw Society and recently she’s been selected for the class of 2023 of The Eddie Adams Workshop. 

Sandra’s work, both photographs and text, has been published and featured locally and internationally in outlets such as L’Oeil de la Photographie, Forbes, La Vanguardia, EyeShot Magazine, Revista Gatopardo, Women Photograph’s 2022 Annual, and Revue Épic. She’s also participated in more than 50 solo and group exhibitions on four continents and has received awards and honorable mentions in global photography competitions. Since 2017, Sandra has been the official photographer for Mexico’s legendary La Carrera Panamericana rally. 

She studied photography at the International Center of Photography in New York as well as at Formation en Photographie in Quebec and Escuela Activa de Fotografía in Mexico. And, with a degree in architecture from the School of Architecture, Art and Design of Tec de Monterrey where she graduated with honors, she’s now a professor at this institution.
