Camila Falquez is a New York-based photographer of Colombian heritage, born in Mexico City and raised in Spain. Her work merges the traditions of fashion and portrait photography with a keen focus on contemporary social and gender diversity. By channeling surrealist conventions and employing a bold color palette, Falquez elevates and empowers her subjects, reimagining their presence through a unique visual language.
In 2022, Falquez held her first solo exhibition in New York at Hannah Traore Gallery, titled Gods That Walk Among Us. In 2023, she was honored as the Fashion Photographer of the Year at the Latin American Fashion Awards and that same year Falquez was awarded the TD Bank and NADA Curated Spotlight award. Additionally, her work has been acquired by the Perez Art Museum in Miami, Florida. In 2024, she was invited to be a part of The University of Tulsa convening Sovereign Futures with her performance piece with artist Luis Rincon Alba, Chant Down.
Falquez’s photography explores the intersection of fabric, identity, and historical narrative. Her art reinterprets the traditional use of draped fabric in Western painting, transforming it into a contemporary symbol that challenges and redefines concepts of power and beauty. Projects such as Compañera (2023-2024), a multi-media photography installation and performance advocating for trans and non-binary rights in Colombia; Being (2018-2023), a visual manifesto that reclaims and redefines monumental ideals; all reflect her commitment to amplifying marginalized voices and celebrating diverse experiences.
