Olga Jaramillo is a visual storyteller. She documents culture, identity and memory as a multimedia artist based in the Washington D.C., metro area. Informed by her career as an economist, she advanced into photography and brought her social awareness and experience in international development into her visual work.

Olga specializes in documentary photography and video, portraits and social issues. Her most recent work focuses on the intergenerational impact of migration on the families of migrant mothers from Central America.

On long-form documentary projects, Olga works with a multidimensional approach in terms of narrative and aesthetics. I use photography, video, text, and archival imagery to tell stories that cannot be narrated only with one medium, in real time and with one voice.

Olga has a master’s degree in New Media Photojournalism from the George Washington University’s Corcoran School of the Arts and Design, a master’s degree in Economics from The London School of Economics and Political Science, a diploma in Economics from Birkbeck University, London, and a bachelor’s degree in Economics from Universidad del Valle, Colombia.
