August 2025 - Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzman, Ciudad de Mexico

Ciudad de México draws visitors into a swirl of emotions: colourful, lively, at times chaotic, yet also offering moments of refuge in peaceful neighbourhoods such as Coyoacán—chosen by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, as well as Leon Trotsky, as their home.

This emotional intensity is powerfully reflected in the city’s churches and their dramatic visual narratives of the lives of Jesus and the saints. The Passion of Christ is often portrayed in stark, realistic—sometimes even crude—detail, while the Virgin Mary and the saints appear dressed in fine, almost luxurious garments, framed by opulent altars and elaborate tributes to both the saints and the high ecclesiastical dignitaries of their time.

These interiors stand as historical statements: in the colonial era they asserted the dominance of European “Conquistador” culture over indigenous, animistic beliefs. Yet those older beliefs remain visible, transformed and absorbed into a deeply passionate and expressive form of religiosity.

All of these photographs were taken at the Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán, Ciudad de México—one of many such remarkable churches that punctuate the city.

August 2023 - Random Views of New York City

I visited New York City in the Summer of 2023 after a long absence. I was very excited and keen to take as many pictures as possible, but I was somehow taken back by the grandeur of the City, its variety and its challenges. New York is one of the most photographed city in the world. Not easy for a photographer to produce anything unique. I was lucky enough to get access to some high level observation decks, and I took a boat tour trying to get a glimpse of New York from the water. Hopefully, albeit not unique, my images share the energy and power of the city, seen from different perspectives.
