Your Tactical Field Manual to Mexico City
My approach to photography is shaped by over a decade of working across the industry—from the technical demands of commercial sets and film crews to the unpredictable nature of street and documentary work. After years of traveling the world for months at a time, I’ve learned that the best images come from a balance of preparation and immersion. This guide is simply the result of that experience: a collection of the specific logistics, timing, and scouted locations I’ve gathered to help you navigate Mexico City.
