Andrea Hernández: Photographing Venezuela

BBC World Service - In the Studio, Andrea Hernández: Photographing Venezuela

Documenting the political and economic crisis across the country

Andrea Hernández is a documentary photographer, whose project Mango Season, aims to dignify the poverty facing people in Venezuela.

Photographer Andrea Hernández has been travelling around her native Venezuela documenting people and nature for her ongoing project called Mango Season. 

Mango season in Venezuela is a time of abundance, when mango fruit is plentiful on the trees. During this time of economic crisis and food scarcity in the country, many people can now be seen roaming the streets looking for these fruits to feed themselves and their families. 

Andrea doesn’t want to just take photographs of the hungry, but to dignify the struggle, showing how people are helping to solve this situation and help create a bridge between the people in the photographs and the viewer.
