Eloisa Lopez is a Filipino photojournalist based in Manila, Philippines.

She began her career as a photo correspondent for the national broadsheet Philippine Daily Inquirer, where she covered for the news and lifestyle sections.

In 2016, after 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. She continued to work on this story as a crime beat multimedia reporter for online news site Rappler in 2017.

Her work was exhibited with fellow photojournalists covering the drug war at the Prix Bayeux Festival in Normandy, WARM Festival in Sarajevo, and at the World Council of Churches in Geneva.

In 2018, Lopez joined Reuters as a contributing photographer, and in 2019 as a staff photographer covering news around the Philippines and Asia.
