One of your many stunning galleries is of the shots you took from Dia del los
Muertos (the Day of the Dead). Can you talk a bit about what this experience was
like for you?
I can honestly say it was probably the most incredible night of my life. We didn’t
really know what to expect and I was concerned we may not find anything at all as
we didn’t really know where we were going. Luckily a local guide pointed us in the
right direction and we stayed up til 8am, visiting local graveyards. I remember being
struck by the atmosphere – while quiet and calm, people were celebratory and
more than happy to have their photos taken. This would certainly not be the case in
England. Every year I look back through the photos and remember what it was like.
I’m keen to go again, perhaps when my daughter is older.
