Martha Posso approached her interest in corporeality through painting at the start of her career and over the years moved into photography. After obtaining her degree in fine arts at Institución Universitaria de Cali, she carried out studies in sociology at Universidad del Valle, deepening the social nature of her work. A scholarship to study photography at the University of Luminy in Marseille, France, allowed her to go further both technically and theoretically in her medium of choice. At present she is a professor at Universidad del Pacífico.
