kameraphoto photographers colective

Sandra Rocha was born in Azores in 1974 and she moved to Lisbon in 1996 where she started studying and working as a photographer. There she took up a photography degree in ARCO and later she licenced in History of Art in the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, where right now she is taking the Master in Contemporany Art. Professionally speaking, she was trapped inside a studio for a while but soon she realized that the place where she felt like working was the outdoors. After four years working in a daily Portuguese newspaper denominated "A Capital", she moved to a freelancer system. In 2002, with other photographers, she co-founded kameraphoto. Nowadays, she works for editorial nacional and internacional market and develops documental personal projects in documental photography.
