"It’s always fun to work with photographers on their first story for National Geographic because they’re usually surprised by the resources and support we can provide and by how much of a voice we give them in contributing to their story."

Chilean Tomás Munita, born in 1975, is an independent documentary photographer interested in social and environmental issues. He's based in Santiago.
