Alejandro Chaskielberg is one of two Argentinian photographer Martin Parr selected for Brighton Photo Biennial. The photographer, born in 1977, began shooting for local newspapers when he turned 18, before moving to documentaries after receiving a degree from the National Film Institute in Argentina.

In Brighton, he shows The High Tide, which documents the people and communities that live and work around the Paraná River Delta near Buenos Aires.
