Your personal street narrative in Mexico City

Want to craft your personal street photography narrative in historic Mexico City?

The streets of the historic center of Mexico City offer a poetic charm for most visitors, even more notably for the visual storyteller. Photographing the streets here is an intense experience, yet extremely rewarding for the prepared and well-oriented. Ever-present references to the city's past co-exist with hypermodern reflections of lifestyle, streetwear, and urban landscapes — the clash and the contrast on these streets present unique opportunities to enhance one's understanding of Mexico City's vibrant culture as well as a vision appropriate to capture it through the lens.

But making good street photographs is not easy. In fact, in an unfamiliar urban space with language and cultural barriers, it can be downright daunting and unnerving. Shooting on the streets here requires balancing your curiosity and itch for discovery with your personal security and respect for the local etiquette. Good street photographers are not born, they are made. This day-long session with Mexico veteran and documentary photographer Keith Dannemiller is sure to activate your street photography "eye" and help you essay your very own Mexico City narrative.
