Statement

My name is Irving Cabrera Torres. I'm 29 years old, I'm a photographer and I have been dedicated to photography since 2003 and have become a student of photojournalism. I got interested in this profession through an exhibition of a Mexican photographer from the 50s, 60s and part of the 70s named Héctor García. His images struck me. It was an account of the streets of Mexico City from the perspective of an resident of this great metropolis.

I like to speak with images, to express myself through photography is the way I have enjoyed living the last seven years. Observing the world, recreating it, rediscovering myself and my environment are things that photography has given me.
