Life and career
Growing up she wished to be an Egyptologist, but given the limited opportunity for studying such careers in Argentina she instead chose to study tourism. While studying tourism she joined a friend in a photography class and instantly became hooked. Before she'd even finished her professional training, she started working as a photographer for major fashion magazines in Latin America.
Artistic Projects
Her first solo exhibition took place in a Buenos Aires nightclub in 1990 and since then she has showcased her work annually in Argentina and abroad.
Herbstein regularly produces and exhibits personal projects that deal with social and environmental issues. These have included:
She has also worked on four projects for the Fundación Huésped, photographing Argentine celebrities to raise awareness about the spread and prevention of the HIV virus.
Her first book, Aves del Paraíso (2009), was themed around birds to raise awareness of species extinction.
In 2011, Herbstein created Uno, a series of images that represent humans as being one with nature.
Estados de Conciencia (2013), a series of photographs representing the different states of consciousness in the journey of self-discovery.
Divine Beauty (2015). Thirteen portraits of girls in a photo essay themed on Sacred Geometry.
