Erika P. Rodríguez is a photographer based in San Juan, Puerto Rico. 

In the past eight years I have covered extensively the economic crisis, the aftermath of hurricanes and earthquakes, among other stories. Being from a place that is culturally Latin American, but politically a territory of the United States, has shaped my interest as a documentary photographer to explore the topics of memory and identity. My work focuses on countering the Caribbean tropical visual stereotype, meditates on the fragility of the island’s collective memory, and seeks to grab the implicit tension in daily life as a result of our political identity.

My work appears regularly in The New York Times, and has been published in The Guardian, Washington Post, NPR, CNN, Smithsonian Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, El País, and BuzzFeed, among others.


Member of Diversify, Women Photograph & Authority Collective.



Photography is a dialogue.
I choose the subtle moments because it is there – in the quietness of time – where a story is also told.
