Luisa Dörr

Photographer
Brazil

I am deeply honored to be a judge member for Nikon Film and Photo Contest, proudly representing Latin America. This role allows me to contribute to an incredible platform that celebrates creativity, innovation, and the power of visual storytelling across the globe. As a judge, I am excited to discover and celebrate works that are not only captivating but also challenge the way we see the world. I see this as a unique opportunity not only to support emerging talents but also to learn more from the diverse perspectives and stories shared by artists worldwide. To all participants, I encourage you to believe that —your stories matter, you have the power to inspire, educate, and connect people in profound ways. Remember, each photograph and film is a reflection of your personal voice, and that voice has the potential to resonate far beyond this contest. I look forward to being inspired by you and learn from you.
