In the barrio, my identity

Sometimes I stop to reflect on how much I have become in tune with this living in Mexico. And I often do this by looking at the photographs I take. In the pride of feeling part of a reality that day after day becomes more and more mine. It continues to grow and this is inevitably reflected in the photographs I produce.

I argue that the perception of reality creates our vision. This explains how from photographer to photographer the way of representing a scene in front of you changes, what to photograph and how to photograph it. What you choose to put inside the frame, the evidence you want to convey to the observer, the intent manifested in the intention.

While I am walking around with my camera I am concentrated, ready to capture everything that seems to me a photograph, an emotion and a story, a gesture that reveals that human condition, the normality of everyday life which continues to be what for me the most. I'm interested in documenting. In that quick moment when I decide to raise the camera and shoot.
