Ahecha In Capilla Cué

For the past three months I’ve been working with six students, teaching them what I can about photography.

While a lot of my classes have covered technicalities, history, and ‘rules’ of photography, the ultimate goal of this project is to instil creativity.

And after doing Ahecha I can see why photography is a great tool in doing just that, by tangibly showing them the world from different points of view.
