Alejandra Valenzuela is a fashion photographer and visual storyteller who has spent the past three years exploring both digital and analog photography. Guided by intuition and a passion for truth, her work captures what often goes unspoken: a fleeting emotion, an energy, a story hidden in the details.
“This editorial was born from a personal need: to make women in sports visible—an arena historically dominated by the male figure,” she explains. “I wanted to portray not only physical strength, but also the emotion, discipline, and presence they bring to the court, the ring, the track. Through my photographic lens, I sought to capture that powerful yet often overlooked energy, placing their bodies, gestures, and stories at the center.”
Alejandra Valenzuela Captures the Unseen
Through her lens, Alejandra captures the emotion, discipline, and raw power of female athletes—revealing the beauty in real movement and making their stories impossible to ignore.
A Tribute to Women in Sports
Her series is both a tribute and an invitation: to see differently, to recognize, value, and amplify the space women deserve in sports. Through her lens, Alejandra captures moments that often go unnoticed—the quiet determination before a match, the raw intensity of movement, and the subtle gestures that reveal an athlete’s spirit. Each photograph tells a story of resilience, passion, and authenticity, highlighting not only physical strength but the emotional depth and discipline behind every performance. By focusing on women in sports, Alejandra challenges traditional narratives, offering a fresh perspective that celebrates empowerment, individuality, and the beauty found in real, unfiltered motion.
Celebrating Strength in Motion
In her latest editorial, Alejandra shines a spotlight on women in sports—not through perfection, but through strength, dedication, and the authenticity of motion. All photographs were captured with a NIKON FM1 using Kodak Gold film, merging a timeless analog aesthetic with a contemporary celebration of female athleticism.
