After completing a Bachelor's degree in Art and Design, Viridiana continued her studies at EFTI, where she gained a Master’s degree in Photography. In 2016 she became Harper Bazaar’s new talent, which kick-started her career in fashion, printing editorial work in local publications such as Vogue, ELLE, and L’Officiel. Then she became a photo editor at Marie Claire Mexico and worked in cities such as Paris, Madrid, Stockholm, and New York. In 2022 she was selected as one of The Next Great Fashion Image Makers by Photo Vogue (Vogue Italia) and took part in the Photo Festival exhibition in Milan.

Viridiana discovers herself through a photographic practice that involves questioning her own ways of thinking and feeling and an opportunity to understand herself in a cathartic visual voyage. Her work revolves around fashion and personal images, building a collection of contemporary, honest, and beautiful imagery.

Currently, I am working on my photo series, The Body We Inhabit. The series started in 2020 as an exploration between my personal photography work and my editorial and fashion commissions which triggered a fascination for the concept of identity leading to a crucial question: How do women perceive and define themselves in their own bodies?

What started as a question has now become an everlasting conversation between beauty, youth, pureness, seduction, fertility, pleasure, and the complexity that comes out of confronting their opposite concepts, becoming a recurring quest to redefine the narratives surrounding self-perception, social constructs, and power dynamics.
