This photo series is about the living spaces in a Mexican home. Camerina and her husband Florentino live here in Puruándiro, in the state of Michoacán.
As it is very warm here, the house has an open style, there are no windows inside and there is a patio in the centre. It’s not a large house.
Camerina loves her plants and birds, there is also a duck wandering round.
They raised their family here. It was special for me to be able to take my photos, it gave me the opportunity to see more of the Mexican culture from a close-up perspective. There are a lot of details to see in each photo giving information to the viewer.
The photos were taken late in November, with the Christmas decorations already set up.
This was my first time in Mexico, I loved it.
I am about to welcome a Mexican Daughter-in-law into my family.
I’m glad I have experienced some of her culture, to have met her family and to have travelled in both the Michoacán and the Yucatan regions.
There is more to discover and I will go back!
I made a little booklet and gave one to Camerina, as a memory for her home as it was when I visited. I enjoy my own copy too.
