Born in Caracas and based in Buenos Aires since 2009, Gerardo Saume studied film and television directing and has been working as a freelance video editor for more than ten years. Passionate about film, literature, and photography—both digital and analog—he published his first fanzine, *Vestigios*, in 2024, in which he explores human presence and absence through black-and-white images in X-Pan format.

In 2025, he began participating in competitions and festivals, receiving an honorable mention from the jury in FotoRevista magazine’s street photography contest, as well as taking part in the Buenos Aires Street Photo Fest and the 38th National Photography Contest organized by the San Cristóbal Foundation in Rosario. He recently completed his photo essay *Mañana será lunes* (*Tomorrow Will Be Monday*), in which he continues to explore human presence and absence through harsh shadows and a black-and-white narrative.
