It's been a long time since I've created this kind of artwork. Many times, I would start with an idea and, as I went along, add elements that would lead me to another idea, and so on. A recurring theme

The Charro bullfighting festivals held in Villa de Alvarez are heavily criticized for their bullfights, the customary daily horse parades that litter the entire city, and other truly negative aspects.

This time around, I don't have much to say. You're already familiar with Hector's work, both as a model and as a designer. This photo shoot was done to showcase this piece he had created, so the best way

I don't know if this happens to you, but I don't usually find myself in front of the camera very often. I very rarely take a self-portrait, and when I do, it gets complicated if there's no one around to

A few days ago, I had the opportunity to do a photo shoot at the Hidalgo Theater in the city of Colima. It was a bit challenging to light the model well while keeping the background lit, especially since

Around the Day of the Dead, at children’s parties, girls are often made up as Catrinas, but not with the precision of professional makeup; the materials used are usually different, as is the quality of

Working with Hector requires a lot of attention. He’s a very creative and hyperactive person; he has to be constantly on the move. It’s very hard for him to hold a pose for very longer, and he quickly

Having always lived in small towns without tall buildings, whenever I visit other cities I’m always dazzled by everything there is to enjoy when looking up, though of course I’m careful where I walk (that’s

Last month, I had the opportunity to cover Nicole’s quinceañera celebration. We hadn’t done a photo shoot with her before, so this was our first time working together. As is often the case with many young

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

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

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

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

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

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

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, 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

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

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
