Request QuoteI look for untold stories that get personal, challenge stereotypes, and inspire thought, particularly in human rights and equality, feminism, conservation, and art. My work can be found in The Guardian, The New York Times, CNN, Al Jazeera English, the BBC, News Deeply and Pacific Standard Magazine, among others. I'm currently based in Seattle and working on my first feature documentary. Let's work together!

Working with Rachel was fantastic - she immediatly understood what we were looking for and with very little guidance needed produced a brilliant film for us that totally captured the style we were looking for at the first attempt. Her camera work and editing were really good and her shaping of the story was spot on to. We will definitley look to work with Rachel again on future projects.

Rachel is an absolute first-rate talent. Her photography was gorgeous, inspired, varied and elevated the material in unforeseen ways. I deeply recommend her for your project to the extent that I would vouch for you transporting her to your location. I will surely hire her again, and am grateful to have collaborated with her.

The oldest of its kind in Veracruz, Mexico, Coyolillo’s Carnival originated when enslaved African, brought to the area by Spanish colonists, were given a single day off, and used it to disguise themselves with masks. Today the Carnival celebrates the heritage of Afro-Mexicans, who have been historically marginalized. Only in 2016 did the government formally acknowledge them in the national census. The day’s festivities include a parade, a beauty pageant, traditional homemade dishes, and intricately designed masks.
