Check FAQAbout Marta
I am a documentary photographer, visual journalist and filmmaker based in Dakar, Senegal, where I have lived and worked since 2015. My reporting explores the intersection of social justice, gender, migration, cultural heritage and collective memory across West Africa, combining photography, writing and documentary filmmaking to tell in-depth human stories. Over the past fifteen years I have covered issues including sexual violence in Senegal, irregular migration, female genital mutilation in The Gambia, inclusive education for children with disabilities in Guinea-Bissau, climate resilience among nomadic communities in the Sahel, malaria prevention in Guinea and the preservation of photographic heritage in Senegal. Alongside breaking stories and feature reporting, I develop long-term documentary projects that examine identity, historical memory and cultural change. My work has been published by BBC Africa, Der Spiegel, El País, Euronews, Science Magazine, Colors, Luzes, El Salto and elDiario.es, among others. I also produce multimedia stories, documentaries and visual communication projects for international organisations, including FAO, IOM and UNODC. Fluent in Spanish, English, French and Portuguese, I work throughout West Africa as a photographer, videographer, multimedia producer and fixer for international media organisations and documentary productions.

The disruption in U.S. funding for malaria control in Guinea—which amounted to some $15 million in 2024—has interrupted or put at risk many other health services in the West African nation, including the provision of diagnostic tests, drugs, and long-lasting insecticidal bed nets, as well as data collection, technical support, and training. This reportage is part of Science Magazine's News series about how U.S. foreign aid cuts threaten child health around the world, supported by the Pulitzer Center.
