Editorial and Commercial photographer Amanda López shares how she finds joy in her craft, how her 2nd and 3rd generation Mexican-American upbringing influences her subject matter and the role that mentors and creative community play in her artistic and professional growth.
In this episode, photojournalist Mabel Jiménez takes us into the circumstances when she created two of her images. The first is an image documenting a farewell ceremony for a mural in the Mission District of San Francisco. A ceremony that she shares encompasses so much more than just a mural. In her second images, a “Pinky Kiss” is a gesture of connection across the U.S.-Mexico border that is both a sign of intimacy between separated loved ones and symbolic of thousands of interactions that have happened at Friendship Park. A park whose closure is imminent, ending the possibility of even this tiny amount of physical contact. Image Tours are opportunities for a photographer to share some of their most significant images and take the listener behind the scenes of the images. This may include why or how they made the image, its personal significance, and/or the personal, social, or political context of the image.
