Judith Prat is a documentary photographer and film director.

With a degree in Law and a specialisation in Human Rights, Judith Prat later trained in photography and decided to pursue it professionally. She has worked in Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, documenting issues related to human rights, territory, and collective memory, with a particular focus on the situation of women.

In her recent work, she delves deeply into the research processes that precede the photographic act and explores visual narratives that establish a connection between images and critical thinking. She believes that photography gains the power to drive collective transformation through this relationship.

Her work has earned her numerous recognitions, including the Imagen Prize from the Spanish Geographical Society (2023), the Sabina de Plata for her professional career (2021), and the Artes & Letras Photography Award (2017).

She has been nominated for the Gabriel García Márquez Awards and the World Press Photo 6×6 Programme.
