Sofía López Mañán is an Argentinian photographer, National Geographic Explorer, and 2024 Vital Impacts Grant recipient. Her work blends photography with philosophy, ecology, and a quiet kind of activism — always guided by deep respect for the natural world.
From documenting elephant relocations and honoring Andean condors to exploring our symbolic relationship with bees, Sofía’s projects often blur the lines between science, ritual, and storytelling. Her long-term work, El Libro de la Naturaleza, invites us to reconsider how we define “nature” in the first place.
Sofía approaches photography not just as a visual tool, but as a form of listening — a way of entering into dialogue with the living world. Her work has been exhibited globally and continues to ask one powerful question: how can we belong without conquering?
