Beyond the comfortable frontiers of portraits of friends and family,” as a young photographer at the end of the 1950s, Pedro Meyer began to capture religious festivals and rituals in Mexico.
Although his archive includes pictures of religious activities in other parts of the world —such as Europe, China, India, the United States, and Israel— above all else, he is “one of the great photographers of Catholic ritual in Mexico,” comments Elizabeth Ferrer. |
