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

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

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

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,

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.

Alex wanted to enter a catrín contest, so he came to us and asked Karen to do his makeup. It really turned out great, so I took the opportunity to take some portraits of him. Everything was a bit rushed

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
