Daniel Pastene

Daniel Pastene is a Chilean photographer and documentary filmmaker whose work focuses on the relationship between humans and nature, with a strong emphasis on the preservation of the cultural heritage of the Cochamó Valley in Chilean Patagonia. After living for twelve years in Belgium, where he studied music at the Ghent Conservatory, he returned to Chile in 2012 to establish a deep connection with nature and local communities. Since then, he has developed a visual body of work committed to the defense of the territory and mountain culture.
He is one of the founders of the Valle Cochamó organization and serves on the board of the U.S.-based NGO Friends of Cochamó, from where he has helped lead various conservation campaigns, such as Conserva Pucheguín, in collaboration with Fundación Freyja and the outdoor brand Patagonia.
His short documentary El Mono de Cochamó (2016), centered on the life of Christian Gallardo and the local community, has received international recognition, including Best Short Documentary at the Santiago Mountain Film Festival (2016) and Best Short Film at the Noche de Fogón Festival in Bariloche, Argentina, among others.
His photographic work has been featured in both national and international media such as Sidetracked Magazine (UK), The Mountain Life Annual (Canada), The Alpinist (USA), and Ladera Sur (Chile), establishing him as a visual storyteller who weaves together themes of mountains, community, and conservation.
