A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph a feature for The Globe and Mail Style magazine highlighting some of Mexico City’s most beautifully curated concept spaces. The assignment focused on how creative culture in the city is being shaped through thoughtful design, art, and storytelling.

The feature explored three standout locations:

Atlawa – A design studio crafting contemporary homeware from resin and volcanic stone. Their work blends handmade tradition with clean, sculptural aesthetics.

Olivia Foundation – An intimate art space set inside a restored early-1900s townhouse in Roma Norte. The space focuses on postwar abstraction, with an emphasis on works by female artists and a carefully preserved architectural character.

Vera – A concept store offering a seamless blend of fashion, art, and design. Every surface and object feels curated but approachable—a quiet, elegant environment that photographs beautifully.

For this shoot, I used my Canon 5D Mark IV, paired with the Canon 50mm f/1.2, 35mm f/1.4, and 100mm f/2.8 macro lenses. Lighting varied from location to location; I used a Godox AD200 Pro with modifiers to shape the light and add depth to each space. Each environment called for a slightly different approach depending on its architecture, color, and layout.

Thanks to the team at The Globe and Mail for the thoughtful assignment—it’s always a pleasure to help tell stories rooted in place, design, and visual culture.
