Author Biography
Oscar Reygo is a self-taught photographer based in Mexico City. His early fascination with cityscapes and architecture led him to pursue photography at the age of fifteen. Over the years, he has explored various genres, yet cityscape photography remains his most personal and recognized work.

His work has led him to collaborate with globally recognized brands and to teach several photography workshops across Mexico.
Jair Hernández is a Mexican photographer with a passion for street and documentary photography. Having spent a decade in Panama, Jair found in photography a form of meditation, a way to immerse himself in the present moment and uncover the artistry in everyday candid scenes. Jair's lens is often drawn to the allure of street life, capturing compelling portraits of strangers he encounters on the streets. Embracing the vibrant colors that define his native Mexico City, he has transitioned from black and white to color photography.
Isaac Jero is a Mexico City-based photographer whose work revolves around the exploration of light, territory, and visual narrative. For more than eight years, he has cultivated a practice that merges technical precision with a refined aesthetic sensibility, working across genres such as landscape, urban, night -- with a particular fascination for the Milky Way -- and documentary photography. His images invite reflection on the relationship between human presence and the surrounding environment, revealing the subtle beauty that arises in the spaces between the natural and the constructed.
Born in Mexico City, Roberto Lozano is a designer and photographer who discovered the power of photography from a university short film project. After winning a design competition, he was able to buy his first camera, marking the beginning of a passion that today encompasses landscape, portrait, street and drone photography. In addition to creating, Roberto enjoys sharing his knowledge by teaching photography and editing courses, motivated by inspiring others to develop their own vision.
Vidal Rivera is a photographer based in Mexico City. When he first began photographing, he was driven mostly by curiosity and immediacy, photographing what he saw, without thinking too much about a framework. Along the way, he realized that the camera was not a tool to record reality, but a space where experience could slow down to create new perspectives. For him, the documentation is a way of placing oneself in the world, of relating to what surrounds us, and allowing the emotional dimension to emerge through the encounter. His work is guided by an affective charge and trusting the image as a space where perception and memory keep our stories alive.
