Isabella Bastos
I am a filmmaker, documentarian, and photojournalist from São Paulo, Brazil. Throughout my time at Ithaca College, NY, and Idyllwild Arts Academy, CA, I've crafted narratives that intersect geography, education, and social change.
My goal is to continue learning as much as I can about all aspects of environmental media, while building a path through nonprofit work and eventually working with NGOs as a photojournalist and documentarian. I’m driven to experience and document as much of the world as possible, with a focus on stories rooted in the relationship between humans and the environment.
Wherever my career path may take me, I want my work to be grounded in connection, passion, and a deep love for telling people’s stories. It’s through storytelling that I hope to foster empathy, awareness, and meaningful change.
