Jorge Saeta is a native of Zaragoza in Spain. He has lived in Indonesia, Japan and in several African countries.
Formerly a graphic designer and pre-press technician, Jorge studied in the historical Spectrum academy of photography at Zaragoza and then at the Arts and Trades School in Arts & Sculpture Studies.

He has documented international issues, for instance the Southeast Asian Tsunami of 2004 and the tragedy of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa among others.
His camera portrayed ethnic minorities immersed in environmental and political troubles in Asia and also marginalized and alternative communities in Europe.
He has documented projects for international NGOs. His photo story about the dump of Makassar city in Indonesia helped to initiate the 3 years project “The slum school” by the NGO The Sacred Childhood Foundation (UK – Indonesia).

In 2009 and 2011 he was awarded with the Documentary Award by the World Folklore Photographers Association in the contest “Humanity Photo Awards”, sponsored by UNESCO for his photo stories: “Traditional Dwellings of Indonesia” and “Whalers of Days Gone By”.
At this moment Jorge is living again in Indonesia, specifically in Bali.

A woman from the Akha tribe smiles warmly in this 2008 portrait taken near Phongsali area, in northern Laos. She wears traditional Akha clothing, distinguished by intricate handwoven textiles, bold embroidery, and silver adornments that signify cultural identity and social status.

The Akha, an ethnic group with roots across Southeast Asia, are known for their rich oral traditions, animist beliefs, and highly skilled craftsmanship. Each detail in her dress tells a story—of ancestry, spirituality, and the enduring heritage of her mountain-dwelling community.
