I am sure that at this point in the summer, you are sitting in your lawn chair, relaxing with a nice glass of sweet iced tea (at least, that’s what my picture of relaxation looks like…).

It’s time to complete our series on Latino Photographers. Most of this series was focused on Mexico Photography, but we did have one gentleman from Chili.
While Eunice Adorno started her career as a photojournalist, it wasn't long before she switched to long-term documentary photography.
Graciela Iturbide was born in Mexico City, in 1942. She was born into a wealthy, catholic family, and was the oldest of 13 children. Her only exposure to the art of photography was the pictures her father took of her and her siblings. Iturbide’s first career choice was to be a writer, but because of her family’s conservative viewpoints, she wasn’t allowed.
Sergio Larrain was born in Santiago, Chile, in the year 1931. His family was very wealthy, and his father was an architect and art collector. Art surrounded him in his home, but Larrain didn’t spend much time admiring or studying it. Instead, he was a shy boy, who spent a lot of time by himself.
Pedro Meyer was born in Madrid, Spain, on October 6, 1935. He immigrated to Mexico with his family, in 1937. Five years later he became a Mexican citizen. He started teaching himself photography with a camera he received for his 13th birthday. In 1953, at the age of 18, he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts. He is the founder of the Mexican Council of
Francisco Mata Rosas was born in 1958 in Mexico City. His father was an amateur photographer and their home was filled with cameras and photography magazines, thus, he was interested in taking pictures at a young age. He used his father’s camera until he received his own, at the age of 12. He quickly started experimenting with things like putting cellophane in front of the lens to see how it would change the image.
Nacho Lopez, born as Ignacio Lopez Bocanegra, was born in Mexico during the year 1923. His father was the manager of sales and advertising of Palmolive Soap. Watching his father work in this field, created an interest of his own in the area of photography and advertising. He was gifted a camera from his uncle and began perfecting his craft. At a very young age, he showed special talent in documentary photography and he started the “Yucatecan Photo Hobby Club”.
After learning so much about famous graphic artists, it is time to begin exploring a new genre of art. With Cinco de Mayo coming up this month, we decided to focus our exploration on Latin American photographers. Our journey of exploration begins in Mexico, with Eunice Adorno.
