EDOMEX, Street Photography and approach

EDOMEX, Street Photography and approach - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Alex Coghe / 25.07.2021 14:59

To photograph in EDOMEX (state of Mexico) is a total different experience. In fact you can’t think to go and simply start to make photos. You need to prepare yourself. It is not like photographing in downtown. The State of Mexico faces a critical situation of citizen security, being one of the most violent states in the country and the one with the most crimes per 100 inhabitants, with 93 (when national average is 41).

To try to make street photography is "cosa de loco" and despite not any place in EDOMEX are unsafe or criminal areas you have always to consider where you are.

The fact is that I live in the north side of Mexico City. And just on the border with EDOMEX. I am used to trespass. Next week I found myself in the state of Mexico for a book fair and, as always, I was with my camera (I always carry one) and I started to make some photos. You can see a selection here.
