Erika Nina Suárez (she/they) is an international documentary and portrait photographer living between her family's farm in Hungary and Fort Worth, Texas. Her journey into photography began when a friend lent her a medium format camera and without any formal training she began documenting the lives of her friends who lived in a clothing-optional cooperative housing complex in Austin, TX.
Beyond commissions, Erika is also working on a long-term project focused on the daily life of international farming communities, including her extended family in Hungary. Drawing from personal experiences, her photographs bridge the unseen gap between farms and the people who cultivate the land, emphasizing the importance of putting a face to the food and products we consume.
How Erika approaches photography is deeply personal. At the core of each image lies a meaningful connection between her and her subject. Her work delves into youth culture, tradition, and alternative communities, utilizing medium and large format processes for their ability to produce high-quality prints.
Erika's clients include the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Texas Tribune, the Texas Observer, and the Dallas Morning News.
