Magical Iceland

The steam of a cup of noodles fogs my glasses as I stand on the balcony and I wait and wait for a glimpse of the northern lights. I know I’m in Iceland, but I’m not entirely sure of where I am, part of me feels in outer space and the other part, doesn’t care. The cold September air takes my breath away, and any hint of cold dissipates by the sting of the hot cup of spicy noodles that I insist on holding even if they are too hot and even if they are searing my tongue, my hands,…

My Experience as a student of Maggie Steber

© Herzen Cortes 2015   Recently I participated in Maggie Steber’s Mystery Photo Workshop in Miami as part of the Miami Street Photography Festival, a 5-day event sponsored and organized by Leica and Leica Akademie.   In my 8 years producing photo workshops I have been to many workshops and have known many photographers, I can say that this workshop was quite unique from its conception. It was not a workshop about creating great imagery or about creating a story, it was about unleashing our creativity to produce a body of work that would convey Mystery as a message, whatever…

The Importance of Good Editing in Photography

Selecting just a few photographs from thousands upon thousands of captures is an uphill task that every photographer faces at some point of time. Not adding much solace to this is the fact that most photographers are among the worst editors when it comes to their work. Then again, some say that this is why you have photo editors and art directors, but that is an all different story in itself.

Why Photographers Must Visit Myanmar

Myanmar has undergone a lot of changes. Even though it has been a struggle coping up with the military rule and the consequential stagnation in growth, it is now finally opening up to the world. For a very long time, Myanmar has been deprived of any global contact or influence and has been left isolated as against several other neighboring Asian countries which have developed rapidly with globalization, industrialization and tourism. However, all that is changing now. Myanmar has a strong and unique culture, which is new to the outsiders. So Myanmar is one of the perfect places for a…

How to Choose the Best Photography Workshop for You

  One of the most important decisions aspiring photographers eager to hone their talent must take is choosing a photography workshop. If you’re one of them, we suggest that you give it some thought instead of ‘just going with the flow’ and choosing arbitrarily. Of course, it goes without saying that you must already have a clear idea about what genre of photography you want to pursue. For instance, if you’re a frequent traveler interested in taking better photos of your trips or you’re serious about becoming a full-time travel photographer, you must naturally take up a workshop focusing on…

Day of the Dead in Oaxaca, Mexico

  In the state capital, Oaxaca City, the festivities of Día de los Muertos begin a week before the 1st and 2nd of November. Day of the Dead is the most time-honored and expressive holiday. It is an example of the harmonious relationship between Christianity and the pre-hispanic traditions found in this Mexican state. Dressed as doctors, judges, teachers, tennis players and prostitutes, The “Catrinas” (female skeletons representations), engage in all kinds of activities from dancing, praying and drinking to hair styling and singing. Every conceivable profession and pastime is burlesqued and well represented in the “comparsas”(Day of the Dead…
