invited photographer: Félix Cúneo Escamilla

"As a photographer born and living in a port, the port of Veracruz, my work is, in most cases, about the sea and the people of the port. Images of ships, sailors and mythological marine fauna.

In my work I try to stick to the idea that photography has to be fun and spontaneous, I want to see with the same enthusiasm as a child, observing the street and what surrounds me with fantasy and excitement as if I saw it for the first time.

I am not bound by rigorous aesthetics or technical aspects of photography, I photograph to remember and to feel good and always with the intention to leave something to the people who view my work." - Félix Cúneo Escamilla
