Eloisa Lopez is a Filipino photojournalist based in Manila, Philippines.
Her career began in 2015 as a photo correspondent for the national broadsheet Philippine Daily Inquirer where she covered daily news and features.
In 2016, after former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte won the elections and declared a war on drugs, Lopez documented the nightly killings across Metro Manila as a personal project. It was also then that she started freelancing both as a photographer and producer for foreign news publications like the New York Review of Books, and The Wall Street Journal. She continued to cover this story as a contributing reporter for online news site Rappler in 2017.
In 2019, Lopez won the Anja Niedringhaus Courage in Photojournalism Award for her extensive work on the drug war.
In the same year, Lopez joined the wire news agency Reuters as a staff photographer.
She is currently unavailable for any freelance work.
