Born and raised in a Mexican-Salvadorian household in Los Angeles, Gochez focuses her work on uplifting the narratives of various Black Indigenous People of color identities, especially women of latin descent. In a society dominated by Anglo-Saxon beauty standards and cultural appropriation, she uses her photography and creative fashion sense to curate powerful images of BIPOC across the world. She casts a spotlight on the simple beauty in different cultures, capturing the subjects of her portraits— mainly Latin women she meets in her day-to-day life— in and around the ‘sacred spaces’ in their communities. Thalia’s work shys away from her subjects being heavily retouched and edited, she likes to enhance the natural and raw features that make up her beautiful subjects and tends to favor more warm and vibrant color grading. Thalia has exhibited work internationally at museums and galleries in Germany and her work has been featured in countless publications and newspapers such as Vogue Magazine, Teen Vogue, New York Times, Office Magazine, LA Times, I-D magazine, Latina Magazine, It’s Nice That, Booooooom and Hypebae etc.! She has a plethora of global campaigns under her belt and has worked with several high-level clients such as Nike, Jordan, Don Julio Tequila, 7-Eleven, Apple, Converse, Polaroid, Forever 21, Rare Beauty, Adidas, Tommy Jeans, and Footlocker. Her work always feels within reach and always tends to evoke a sense of nostalgia but with a contemporary twist, there’s heaps of story and style in each photograph which makes up such a unique recipe that’s so distinctively her.
