Jaripeo // Monomad challenge
A few years ago, I was invited to take photos at a rodeo event. For a few months, I attended every competition, and it was a great learning experience. First, I want to make it clear that I am not in favor

Catrina Bride // Monomad Challenge
A few years ago, we invited anyone who wanted to participate in these Catrina photo shoots, partly to create content and partly to practice. This was the first of those sessions, and I think it was the

Outdoor Session // Monomad challenge
For this occasion, Hector told us he wanted to do this shoot outdoors where he could play with natural elements. As always, he put together his own wardrobe, and this time he also handled the makeup, so

From Painter to Catrina // Monomad challenge
These are the photos of Nora that led to the second session I showed you earlier. For each of these projects, our model chose the design. I think they were drawn to them because they saw that we don’t

Painting in Black and White // Monomad Challenge
Nora reached out to us because she was interested in doing a Catrina photo shoot (which I’ll show you later). She told us she loves painting, and even though it’s just a hobby, she devotes a lot of her

A few years ago // Monomad Challenge
This is one of my first projects featuring Catrinas and also directing people in a studio. I’ve always thought that working outdoors is easier in terms of directing the model. You can play with whatever

Don Catrin de la Fachenda (conceitedness ) // Monomad Challenge
The first time I came across the term “catrin” was in a novel titled The Life and Deeds of the Famous Knight Don Catrin de la Fachenda. He was a good-for-nothing, obsessed with dressing well, feigning

El Tri // Monomad Challenge
El Tri, a Mexican rock band led by Alex Lora, has a very distinctive style. As far back as the ’90s, I’d heard a few songs that a friend in college had recorded on a cassette. Over the years, I managed

San Jose de Gracia Shrine // Monomad Challenge
The San Jose de Gracia Shrine is another church located in downtown Guadalajara, one I hadn’t had the chance to visit before. As I walked toward the altar, the wooden floor creaked, and in the silence,

Hi, everyone. Today I’m bringing you something different, I mean, something not related to the Day of the Dead. This time, we traveled to the state of Jalisco, to a country hotel that has several locations

Butterfly Catrina // Monomad challenge
Catrina makeup looks aren't always so labor-intensive or complex. This one in particular is a good example of that, but just because it seems less complex doesn't mean it's any less beautiful. Unlike the

Portrait of a Sinister Catrina // Monomad challenge
We did this project a few years ago. With this makeup, La Catrina looks a little scarier than usual; in fact, I feel like this version is more in line with Halloween than with the Day of the Dead, which,

Basilica of Our Lady of Zapopan // Monomad Challenge
I’d been traveling to Guadalajara for over 12 years, and until now I’d never visited Zapopan. I usually wandered around Guadalajara’s historic center, which seemed to go on forever; on every visit, I’d

Problem Solved // Monomad challenge
I remember that when I started this session, I began having problems with the flash; there was no way I could get it to fire. It just so happened that I had dropped mine, and someone borrowed me one, but

Cemetery wedding // Monomad challenge
I’m not one of those people who “fear the dead,” as my grandfather would say; it’s the living you should be afraid of. To be honest, I never thought I’d find myself in a cemetery at night taking photos.
