Black coffee // Monomad Challenge
I've never been as dependent on coffee as so many other people; I like it and enjoy it, but it's not something I miss. That's why when I left my home country (Cuba), it wasn't hard for me to stop drinking

Portrait of a Trans Girl as Catrina // Monomad Challenge
We invited Betty to participate in these Catrina photo shoots, and she was immediately interested. She personally chose the makeup design and made the costume herself. The flower crown and the makeup in

Girl portraits // Monomad challenge
She arrived very shy, or at least that's what we thought, as if she didn't want to have her picture taken, but as soon as she was given instructions, she posed like a experienced model, a little unsure

Catrin portraits // Monomad challenge
On this occasion, these images are from a “catrin” photo shoot, for which Angel, who was my student a few years ago, served as my model. I didn’t teach him anything about photography, since I’m a chemist

Disconnected ideas // Monomad challenge
Here are some other images in which I use the egg as the central figure. They don’t really constitute a series; they’re just individual photos in which I try to depict different concepts or ideas. Technical

Experience // monomad challenge
The image of the egg has always intrigued me deeply. We can interpret it as a vessel for life and hope, but at the same time, it can be seen as something that limits (with its shell) everything inside

Outdoor catrina portraits // Monomad Challenge
I hope you aren't getting bored of seeing these Catrina portraits I've been sharing with you. A few years ago, I started doing this kind of work, and every season I add new ones, so it has become quite

Self-Portraits // Monomad Challenge
A few years ago, I didn't shave for about a year just to take some self-portraits. I didn't think it would be so uncomfortable to grow such a beard. I usually keep my hair long, and in a way I'm already

Drag Catrin // Monomad Challenge
The catrin is much less known than the catrina, and to be honest, it’s usually much less colorful than the catrina. In this case, the intention wasn’t exactly to depict a Catrin, but rather a sort of drag

Childhood Memories // Monomad challenge
Hector is a person with artistic talents and interests; he has a natural aptitude for modeling and also designs his own clothes. This was the first photo shoot we did together, and as soon as he saw the

Cold drinks
In this time of year, just looking at these photos cools us down. For these, I tried using fake ice cubes, but because of the difference in density between those fake ice cubes and real ones, plus the

Still Life with Pumpkins // Monomad Challenge
Lighting reflective surfaces is quite a challenge for me; it’s very difficult to keep them from becoming overexposed. This series was just an exercise I did using some mini pumpkins that, incredibly, are

Catrina // Monomad Challenge
I think everything related to Mexican culture tends to be very colorful, even when it has to do with the Day of the Dead. The makeup used to portray the catrinas is usually very colorful, with various

15th celebration
This was a bit of a challenging shoot. The heat was making her sweat, which was ruining the girl's makeup, and I wasn't quite sure what to do to avoid spending hours touching it up. The good news is that,

Outdoor portrait
While a flash is a very helpful tool for outdoor shoots, it can sometimes be a bit tricky to use if you want to achieve balance in the scene and illuminate it without making it look like there’s an artificial

Family time
Working with kids is always difficult. They get tired, bored, or just don't understand why you want to take their pictures. One is hard enough; two is already a problem. 🤣🤣🤣. But patience always pays

Close-up portraits of Catrina
This time, I'm showing you some very similar close-ups. The idea is for you to take a look at the makeup work; the photos have only been lightly retouched to remove a few blemishes or stray hairs.

Handicraft markets in Mexico.
I usually visit craft markets just to enjoy all the color. It’s incredible how much beautiful work we can find made with such vivid colors. At one point, I devoted myself to making crafts, and I recognize
