Vogue.it: People I met in Mexico series

Apr 2025

For Vogue.it, photographer Alexandre Ean presents the People I met in Mexico series, an observational editorial project spanning landscapes, street scenes, and intimate portraiture. The collection leans into a documentary aesthetic, utilizing analogue film to capture the interplay between organic geological forms and daily life. The series moves between vast, high-contrast aerial shots of winding rivers and tiered mineral pools to the granular details of urban portraits. Ean employs natural light and raw, tactile framing to maintain a consistent visual rhythm, emphasizing earthy tones and the weathered textures of the subjects' environments. This work prioritizes a candid approach to portraiture and geography, focusing on the interplay of light and shade through techniques such as chiaroscuro and desaturated palettes.
