Adriana Zehbrauskas: Documenting Different Cultures, Foundry Photojournalism Workshop 2011

In documenting and telling the story of different cultures, Adriana Zehbrauskas believes that photography helps demonstrate that “people are not truly born equal.” From this awareness, people can find encouragement to remedy the problems of inequity.

PhotoWings’ mission is to highlight and help facilitate the power of photography to influence the world. We help photography to be better understood, created, utilized, seen, and saved.

Adriana Zehbrauskas was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil. She received her degree in Journalism in 1989 and moved to Paris where she studied Linguistics and Phonetics at the Sorbonne Nouvelle. She worked as a staff photographer for Folha de S. Paulo, in Brazil for 11 years, traveling extensively throughout the country and abroad.
