Ana Caroline De Lima
Women Photograph
Belo Horizonte, MG, Brasil
Ana Caroline de Lima is a photographer, journalist, and National Geographic Explorer, with a postgraduate degree in Anthropology. Her work explores the deep connections between people and the environment, with a special focus on rural and Indigenous communities, social bioeconomy, and how the climate crisis is reshaping lives, relationships, and territories.
Before fully focusing on photography, Ana worked for years in journalism, in roles ranging from writing and editing to production and corporate communications — experiences that shaped her storytelling and her way of listening and seeing the world.
Over more than a decade, her projects have taken her from the Amazon to the Andes, as well as to many regions in Europe and Asia. Currently, she is deeply engaged with the Brazilian Cerrado — South America’s second-largest biome. Drawing from her family’s roots in the region, she photographs the vital importance of biodiversity, traditional knowledge, and sustainable practices in conserving this unique, overlooked biodiversity hotspot.
Her work has been recognized with major awards and exhibited internationally in over 20 countries, including venues such as the Photo Vogue Festival, Museo di Roma in Trastevere, and the Oxo Tower, published in places such as the National Geographic Society, GEO, The Guardian, and the Royal Photographic Society.
She is a member of organizations like Diversify Photo, Authority Collective, Women Photograph, and Everyday Projects (founder of Everyday Andes), speaks Portuguese, English and Spanish, is HEFAT-trained and a certified drone pilot.
