JP Stones has spent the last decade photographing the same group of Mexica, or Azteca, dancers. In that time, he learned how connected the Mexica are to their mythology, to ancient stories passed down across generations. That's when he realised that these stories were so vital to mexica culture, they needed to play a bigger role in his portraits.
Here's what JP says about himself on his website:
"I started my cultural photography workshops because I was frustrated at not being able to create the travel photos I wanted to. Candid photos are fine, but I wanted my portraits to show the personality and history of people – to show the real Mexico. A great portrait is a blend of many factors: the model, the environment, the lighting, and the composition. But, most of the time, travelers can’t control any of these factors. I wanted to change that by bringing tourists and local communities together, in a harmonious way. Because the more we learn about different cultures, the more we respect those cultures."
Look forward to a fascinating evening. JP's website is at https://jpstonesphotography.com/
