Andria Hautamaki: Embedded in Place
Welcome. I'm an independent print and photo journalist from Colorado who is based in Puerto Natales, Chile. My personal work focuses on the intersection of agriculture, the environment, and rural life.
What started as a six month backpacking trip to this region in 2010 has grown into an enduring passion to share the stories of the people and places in Patagonia. I’m bilingual English/Spanish and am a certified FAA Part 107 drone pilot with a license for commercial aerial sUAS photography.
I’m a member of Women Photograph and syndicate images with Redux Pictures. My work has appeared in CNN, Fem Patagonia, High Country News, National Geographic Traveler, OZY, STAT News, and Western Horseman, among others.
