This photo is called “Peyote Ceremony #1”.
This photo is very close to my heart. The idea came to me during a Peyote ceremony way back in 2017. I wanted to recreate the magic of the ceremony. The camera points to the stars, the portal to all 17 Mexica heavens.
The opportunity to work with the Huichol shaman in the photo, never materialized though…until 5 years later. Juan contacted me to say he was back in town with his uncle. I put down everything to plan this shoot and, luckily, it all came together beautifully.
We shot this at a beach in Sayulita, the Mexican town I live in, mid-2022. This print is part of my Huichol art / Mexico Art series.
◾️ MODELS
Over the years, many of the models I work with have become good friends. I pay each model for their time on the photoshoot as well as a percentage of every sale.
◾️ ALUMINUM METAL PRINTING
Your print will be professionally printed on a specially coated aluminum sheet. A white base coat is applied to the brushed aluminum, which creates a platform that enhances vibrant colors and bright whites – similar to the backlit effect of viewing images on a computer screen. Every print comes with an easy-to-hang float mount that makes the print appear to float off the wall.

The people in these frames are real charros, folklórico dancers and Huichol artisans, and each one is paid a share of every print sold.

I love this aluminium print, the detail and clarity are amazing!
