AVSI foundation has commissioned me the realization of a short documentary film and a photographic story in the 3 states of the “Polo para la Ciudadanía Participativa” project, a network of more than 200 Ngos working together with leading figures and local peace-builders able to increase local development. #avsi #avsimexico #poloproject #assignment #photography #film #documentary #documentarynow #nightview #documentaryphotography #color #peace #peacebuilding #reflection #desaparecidos #mexico #acapulco On assignment in Mexico for the next 15 days. 🎥🇲🇽📷#assignment #photography #frame #documentary #documentarynow #people #documentaryphotography #color #project #design #architecture #mexico #mexicocity Just arrived in Mexico, where I will work on assignment for the next 15 days, looking forward to start this new adventure. #assignment #night #photography #frame #documentary #documentarynow #color #project #design #architecture #mexico #mexicocity 18-year-old pregnant Esmeralda Nuredini is seen inside a Roma community settlement in Tirana.
