About Paulina Gallardo

South American photographer based in Paris, France, whose work primarily explores themes related to masculinity. Throughout her active years as a photographer, she has approached masculinity from a female perspective, using fashion photography as a central language of exploration.
Her practice extends beyond fashion into documentary and contemporary photography, allowing her to navigate different visual territories while maintaining a consistent conceptual focus. Through her work, she seeks to question traditional representations of men and challenge established visual narratives surrounding masculinity.
Her main artistic goal is to portray men through a feminine gaze — exploring masculinity from a more sensitive and vulnerable perspective, and ultimately contributing to the reconstruction of a new image and understanding of masculinity within contemporary society.
