Mateo Reyes — analog fashion photographer. No presets, no rescue in post. What the negative holds is what you get, warm and a little imperfect.
I shoot film because it can't lie about time.
Every roll comes back with one frame I didn't plan and couldn't repeat — that's the one I print. Mexico City light does half the work; the rest is patience and a light meter older than I am.
Portra 400, pushed one stop, story over polish.
Medium format, season key art with a heartbeat.
One sitter, one roll, no second chances.
Whole collections on grain, scanned at 4×.
“Mateo handed back the campaign and it already looked like a memory. Nobody warms a frame like he does.”
Send me the collection and a mood. I'll bring the cameras, the meter, and far too much Portra.
