Welcome

I extend a warm welcome to you as you step into my world of storytelling, exploration, and the transformative power of narrative. Here, I wear many hats – filmmaker, photographer, investigative journalist, psychotherapist, and participatory photography facilitator. Through these roles, I've had the privilege of crafting stories that resonate with the human spirit and helping individuals heal through psychotherapy and counseling.

My name is Miguel Ángel Amórtegui, and I'm delighted to have you here. Join me on a journey that spans continents and cultures. Explore the intricate tapestry of human experience, from the bustling streets of London to the heart of Africa, from the refugee camps in Calais to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Whether it's empowering marginalized communities, sharing the untold stories of child soldiers, or helping survivors heal through narrative and counseling, my work is driven by a profound belief in the power of storytelling.

Here, you'll discover a diverse array of projects that reflect my enduring commitment to storytelling and healing. From films that stir the soul to photography that captures the essence of humanity, each piece carries a message, a narrative, and a purpose.

Feel free to delve into my portfolio, explore the collaborative projects, and immerse yourself in the transformative power of storytelling and psychotherapy. If you're inspired, if you seek to collaborate, or if you simply want to share your own narrative, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
