Award-winning documentary photographer Adriana Zehbruskas (@adrianazehbrauskas) shares her experiences making and printing portraits for families in rural Mexico. While on assignment, Zehbrauskas noticed many rural families had very few photographs of themselves or their loved ones, and so she decided to take family portraits free of charge. 

Adriana Zehbrauskas is a Brazilian documentary photographer based in Mexico City, Mexico.Her work covers mostly issues related to migration, religion and the aftermath of the violence related to the drug wars in Mexico as well as the daily life of sub and misrepresented communities.She contributes regularly to The New York Times, BuzzFeed News, The Washington Post and others.Adriana is one of the three photographers profiled in the documentary “Beyond Assignment” (USA, 2011, produced by The Knight Center for International Media and the University of Miami. She’s one of the recipients of the first Getty Images Instagram Grant and was awarded Best Female Photojournalist -Troféu Mulher Imprensa (Brazil). Her mobile photography work was selected by Time Magazine for the “29 Instagrams That Defined the World in 2014″ and her project on Faith in Brazil and Mexico was awarded a Art & Worship World Prize by the Niavaran Artistic Creation Foundation.

Congratulations to everyone coming together at this year’s @eddieadamsworkshop. As students and staff arrived, we caught some meaningful reflections about lessons they have learned along the way.

PhotoWings is a continued education partner of the Eddie Adams Workshop, creating educational content through faculty interviews and sharing free, accessible resources for visual storytellers inside and outside of the photo silo. They’ve created many hours of in-depth video interviews from within the EAW faculty and family that are available on the PhotoWings website. #eaw2025

Thank you Sophie Park (@sophieupark), Scott Allen (@navyphojo), and Harmon Li (@harmonli) for chatting with us 💜
