I travelled far and wide to meet and shoot these women and to hear their stories. I worked as quickly as possible once I had them in my portable studio to maintain the natural feel of the portraits which I shot on medium format film. Working with Septima Photos and various charities such as Manos de Mujeres, I hope to use these pictures to bring about direct supplies for the women involved in the project and perhaps a change in the portrayal of women in Colombia in general.
