Low-Key Light Beautiful

We visited one of the more humble neighborhoods of Mexico City recently to visit some family. A sprawled out concrete city about, flush with good people and some of the best tacos you’ll ever try, only 30 minutes north of the international airport.

About 40 minutes north you can visit the Pyramids of Teotihuacan and the Pyramid of the Sun, which at one time around 7 A.D. had more than 25,000 inhabitants.

Also in the same Ecatapec de Morelos neighborhood, is our favorite bread anywhere in Mexico. La Esperanza bakeries are just the freshest, most consistent you can get and there are plentiful locations throughout Mexico, and great coffee too.

The gorgeous model that joined the photography session made it look so easy and the end result was stunning. We used low-key lighting to enhance the dramatic effect of the atmosphere.
