Andrea Morales (b. 1984 Lima, Peru) is a queer Latiné documentary photographer and photojournalist whose work focuses on social movements, community, and everyday magic in Memphis and the wider American South. Born in Lima, Peru, Morales grew up in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood. She received a BS in Journalism and a certificate in Latin American Studies at the University of Florida, an MA in Visual Communication at Ohio University, and an MFA in Documentary Expression from the University of Mississippi. She has worked in newsrooms across the United States, and her photos have been featured outlets in The Atlantic, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, Le Monde, NBC News, Pro Publica, Washington Post, Rolling Stone, TIME Magazine, and The New York Times. She currently serves as the Visuals Editor at MLK50: Justice Through Journalism, a nonprofit newsroom in Memphis reporting on the intersections of poverty, power, and public policy. Her work has been exhibited across the country and is held in public and private collections including The Do Good Fund, Memphis International Airport, and the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art. She lives and works in Memphis, TN.

My personal work attempts to lens the issues of displacement, disruption and magic. Adding glimpses of daily life, meaningful or mundane, to the record through photography is central to my practice.
