A B O U T

"Photography has always matched all my passions, all my choices, and all my curiosities. It has always been my best excuse: excuse to go, to be there, to tell, to listen, to come back, to get to know a bit more. It makes me think, look, remember, pause (...)"

It all started, a while ago, when still a little girl secretly used to borrow her dad's camera. Later on, her passion evolved into a bachelor's degree in Photography from Senac University (Brazil). In 2011, moved to Paris to study Photojournalism at Spéos Paris Photographic Institute.  Her professional career started as a photojournalist freelancer and since then she has been working with news agencies, newspapers, and press offices.

Alinne Rezende has already participated in exhibitions in many countries such as Brazil, England, France, Netherlands, Cyprus, Uruguay, and Germany. In 2016, was shortlisted at the Athens Photo Festival 2016, and in 2020 won an Honorable Mention at Budapest International Foto Awards 2020 Editorial /Photo Essay. In 2021, won a scholarship for Sebastian Liste’s / Noor mentoring program – Inner Circle. Active in the photography world, she is a member of Women Photograph and also a member of the global feminine collective The Journal. For the collective The Journal, in 2020 organized and curated together with Lucia Moron the exhibition "Mulheres no Mundo e o COVID-19' was held by Metro de SãoPaulo, in the heart of São Paulo city, Brazil as part of the FFP (Paranapiacaba Photo Festival).

In 2021,worked as a co-curator organizing the collective's participation in the FFP 21 at the exhibition OceanoAlterado held by Sesc Santo Andre in Brazil.  In 2022 was part of the Journal's first collective board, and won a  Visura Lifetime sponsorship.  The following year 2023 passed through the first cut at  Word Press Photo 2023 Open Format South America, also a finalist at  Lucie Foundation - The portrait project - take two. In 2024, once more passed through  the first cut at  Word Press Photo 2024 Open Format South America

Nowadays, she is living between Brazil and Europe, and aside from being a photojournalist, she also works with fine art, and documentary photography, where she can explore the aesthetics and the poetics of image, together with its social and environmental contexts.
