Graciela Iturbide

A recent video about the work of this great Mexican photographer and student of Manuel Alvarez Bravo. She still shoots film too

I love Graciela's work and had a chance to see her exhibition at Fondation Cartier a year ago. Funny that at the time I couldn't quite appreciate her newish color work on rocks, but they've grown on me over time.

One thing that bothers me is that every interview (I've watched everything I can find) always focuses on the same topics (Alvarez Bravo, the lady of the Iguana, the Seris) and we never get to hear more from her. I wonder how all of that works....She's said that only about 5% of her photographs have been shown, I'd die to see more! (I was happy to see new-to-me photos of her sacrifice series in this video)

Thank you for sharing that. Her work is gorgeous and inspiring.

Do you have her latest book 'Heliotropo 37'? It contains a good selection of her photographs, some of which I hadn't seen elsewhere.

I have it right here on my coffee table. Some of those photos were new to me too. So much beauty and tenderness in such darkness...

Lovely video. Thanks for sharing it. I’ve been following Iturbide’s photography for quite some time.

Wonderful. Thanks for posting.
