She is known for having photographed various celebrities of Argentine cinema, such as Tita Merello, Carmen Miranda, Zully Moreno and Mirtha Legrand; as well as other cultural personalities like Jorge Luis Borges, Pablo Neruda and Eva Perón.[1][3][4] She also photographed landscapes, city scenes, animals, and abstracts.[5] Her photographs of South America hold significant ethnographic value, showing changes to the area through the 20th century.[6]
