I wear many creative hats, when it comes to photography. I don't have one particular style of photography. I love shooting documentries, Photojournalisim i adore!,Commercial photography etc. I also love to teach children photography, mostly people ,who are form the inner city. I like to help out communities and fight for social injustices! not hoping to change the world entirely but at least put my grain of sand. What can i say I'm quite the dreamer with an attempt to be realistic. .. also check out my website .."http://www.luciagphoto.com/>GlAMxLYTS

Some films have the power to educate and prompt people to act. Amnesty International is proud to support Bordertown, starring Jennifer Lopez. This film tells the story of a reporter who is sent to Juarez, a city gripped with fear where hundreds of women have been brutally raped and murdered.
