7. Sandra | @localmujer
Sandra’s TikTok content is actually based around giving awareness to arts and culture in the Hispanic community, including photographers you may not know about. She doesn’t showcase her own photography on her TikTok (you can check her Instagram for that!), but we felt including a TikTok creator who is passionate about the Hispanic arts and culture community is a great addition to this list.

With a unique, yet classic, approach to photography, this Minnesota-based photographer creates stunning portraits of their subjects using tintype. Carla create under the name Blkk Hand — a name inspired by their art: “Known as the "Black Arts" for the stains left on the ungloved hands of early photographers, Blkk Hand takes it name from the effects that silver nitrate has on skin (typically accidentally) when exposed to light.”
