Martin San Diego on Clubhouse

Bio

Documentary photographer from the Philippines. Multiple grantee of the National Geographic Society, Diversify Photo member, alumnus of the Angkor Photo Festival Workshops, Visual Journalism graduate of the Ateneo de Manila University, and fellow of the Konrad Adanauer Stiftung Media Programme Asia.

His work gravitates towards questioning the histories written by colonizers and victors. This is most evident in his ongoing long-term project on Filipino-Muslim youth and their relationship with militancy in Mindanao, southern Philippines.

Martin regularly contributes to The Washington Post, VICE News, and Al Jazeera on notable Philippine issues – the Drug War, COVID-19 pandemic, and environment. Nonprofits such as the International Committee of the Red Cross and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees regularly commission him for missions in Mindanao.
