Mexicans celebrate death, we mock it, poke fun of it, write songs and poems to it. We grow up appreciating day of the death as a joyful colorful celebration when we get to remember our loved ones that have passed away.

I love all the traditions surrounding this. The food, the arts and crafts, and also the deep respect that it means to keep this traditions alive.

Sugar skulls are such an art, families pass this technique of creating them and decorating them all by hand. If you think of it each single one of them is unique, just like people.

Día de Mu***os has a very unique food element: Pan de Mu**to.

First registered back in 1907 and appeared in a recipe book in 1938.

But it’s origins can be tracked to pre Hispanic Mexico with a bread made of amaranth and corn decorated with a butterfly shape on top: Papalotlaxcalli

The Pan de mu**to has evolved with many colors and flavors but the original one has orange blossom, orange and anis.

Will you be having Pan de Mu**to today?

“La Catrina” created by Mexican artist Jose Guadalupe Posada 1910 as a critique to the upper class and all the people that imitate them.
By dressing a skeleton In elegant dress, feathers and hat he transmits the message “sooner or later no matter your life status you end in the grave”

Where’s the food?
It’s behind all this gear and equipment used to create it.

Rarely we talk about everything that goes into taking that yummy image.

There’s an army of C-stands, soft boxes, reflectors, diffusers, strobes, cables, grip, tape, tripods and sometimes more without mentioning the camera and what goes along with that one. And we have not even mentioned the set or the actual food.

Definitely a lot goes into creating commercial photography !
