Eduardo Soteras Jalil (Twitter: @edusoteras) (IG: @edusonico) (web: https://www.eduardosoteras.com) is a self-taught Argentinian photographer who has covered a variety of news and conflicts from behind the lens. 

In 2009 he worked in Mexico documenting the migration route of Central Americans to the United States that became his book El Camino. In 2014 he fell in love with Gaza and its people, then the bombings started but he decided to stay, creating two projects What Remains and Gaza Mode d’Emploi, which was published by Le Courrier International and Granta magazine. His work is represented by Neutral Grey Agency (France). he most recently returned from covering conflicts in the Congo and then Tigray, where his latest photo from that conflict won the first prize at this year’s UNICEF Photo of the Year award with his image of two children in a partially destroyed primary school library in Ethiopia’s war-torn Tigray region, taking solace in books. 

He is currently based in Nairobi, working as a freelance photographer and an AFP contributor.
