Thanks to the fact that her parents had a small advertising agency in her hometown, Rocío has been associated with photography since her childhood. In 2008 she decided to study photography with a mention in advertising in Santiago de Chile. In 2012, after assisting different photographers and after finishing her degree, she began her profession as a photographer at Estudio FE, one of the most important photography studios in Latin America. During these years she was able to define her photographic style surrounded by colors, natural light, film characters and the constant use of analog formats. Her work has been recognized both in Chile and in the United States and Europe, publishing in fashion magazines such as ID, Nylon, Vogue, Forbes, Vice and in art books such as The age of collage published in 2013 by the German publisher Gestalten. Her artistic practice is focused on experimenting with analog formats, color saturation to potentiate an environment, natural light, and developing and printing techniques. Her interest in alternative photography intensified in 2017 when she settled in New York City to study at the Penumbra Foundation, a photography school that stands out for its specialization in the wet collodion technique. She continued her studies in Chile, where she experimented with techniques such as Cyanotype, Vandyke, salted paper, among others. Her altruistic side has led her to participate in various charity campaigns for the Children's Board and Action Against Hunger. She taught fashion photography classes at FotoDesign Chile in 2018 and 2019 and at the Centro Cultural de Artes Mixtas in Guadalajara, Spain in 2020. During 2021, her work was exhibited in different places in Spain under the Caixa Forum cultural center. In 2022 she decided to launch her last book called Rocío [2008-2022] X ROCIO AGUIRRE in which she collects intimate analog photographs, declaring that in addition to a personal diary it is also a generational story. She currently lives in Madrid where she works independently.

Carlota Guerrero is a Barcelona-based artist and photographer. Hers is a sidereal trajectory that has much to do with the spirit of the times and which questions the effects of the omnipresent male gaze, claiming for the exploration and realisation of the female point of view. Based on the absence of female symbols linked to positions of power and their impact on shaping our common perceptions regarding authority and vigour, Guerrero’s work aims to fill this imagination gap by generating a new feminist symbology. Between performative experience and photography, her creations differ from ordinary photographic works. While it is true that the medium enables her to document the experiences of communion among women she obsessively creates, the resulting images remain secondary; they are vestiges of these past encounters. The world discovered Carlota with Solange’s album ‘A Seat at the Table’. Since then, she has worked for Dior, Givenchy, Mugler, Helmut Lang, The New Yorker, Vogue, Pop Magazine, and artists like Rosalía, Arca or Rupi Kaur among many others. She published her first monographic book “Tengo un dragón dentro del corazón” in 2021 with Prestel. Recent exhibitions include Paris Photo VR, Paris Photo, France (2022); Who Am I?, Staatsgalerie, Stuttgart (2022); Urvanity Art Fair, Madrid (2021); Tengo un Dragón Dentro del Corazón, Objective Gallery (2021, solo); Opening Season, Alzueta Gallery, Barcelona (2020); Opening Season, Palau de Casavells (2020); Just Mad Art Fair, Madrid (2019); London Art Fair, London (2019); Opening Season, Alzueta Gallery, Barcelona (2019).
