Sandra Hernández: The Problem With Street Photography Today

Sandra Hernández, Mexican photographer, founder of Observadores Urbanos, and an active voice in Latin American, reflects on street photography, documentary photography, the female gaze, everyday life, intention, and human connection. Her work moves between urban life, memory, visibility, and the relationship between people and place. She is also connected to platforms including Women Street Photographers, Women Photograph, and The Raw Society. In the conversation, we talk about the blurred line between street photography and documentary photography, photographing the ordinary with intention, why the “invisible photographer” is a myth, women’s visibility in photography, Latin American representation, community-building, and what it really takes to make a living from photography today.
