Photography

Our photography captures the resilience, culture, and humanity of the Arizona-Sonora borderlands and beyond. As humanitarian aid volunteers and avid travelers, we document the lived journey of migrants, the work of aid organizations, the challenging dynamics of the border region, and the unique social and historical landscapes of communities around the world.

Through our lens, we seek to tell powerful, untold stories—preserving moments of struggle, strength, and connection in remote landscapes and bustling cities. Each image invites viewers to see these realities up close, fostering a deeper understanding of the people and places that define our shared planet.

Ethics

Fronterizo is built on a foundation of ethical storytelling, where the wellbeing and dignity of those we photograph come first. As actively involved volunteers, we prioritize the safety and agency of our subjects, ensuring that all photography is conducted with explicit or implied consent. Our goal is to share authentic experiences and stories in a respectful, non-extractive manner—amplifying voices rather than exploiting them, we take care to censor identifying details when safety is a concern, but believe that sharing their story is important to humanizing our region. Every image reflects a commitment to integrity, transparency, and the deep responsibility that comes with documenting life in the borderlands and beyond.
