About

Juan Carlos Zapata León, born in Cartagena, Colombia in 1984. He studied Film and Photography at the Unitec University Corporation in Bogota. He entered the world of journalism when he joined Publicaciones Semana (a colombian media company) in 2011, obtaining the position of videographer, which he held until 2014. In June of that year, he traveled to France and lived in that country for the next 10 months, venturing as an event photographer for some concerts and plays. When he returns to Bogotá, he begins to work with the correspondents of the Spanish newspaper El País, making videos for the newspaper's website. Thanks to this work, he travels to different regions of Colombia making audiovisual specials, most related to the peace process and the subsequent signing of the end of the armed conflict. In September 2017, he began working with the French television channel France 24 in Spanish, after opening its headquarters for the Ibero-American public in the Colombian capital. He currently works there making audiovisual pieces of various kinds, in addition to developing independent projects for different companies and NGOs. Since March of this year, when the pandemic caused by covid-19 began, he also linked himself with the French news agency AFP, with whom he has worked reporting all kinds of stories during the quarantine.
