Shaun Fenn grew up surfing in Mexico and developed a deep appreciation for the culture and it traditions. His latest personal project honors the country’s greatest musical traditions of all, known as Mariachi, with its songs of love, betrayal, death, revolution, and politics. So off he went to Baja searching out and casting Mariachi band members and photographing them in his outdoor studio. Shaun tells us, “Normally I shoot in an editorial or storytelling fashion where Im immersing myself in the story I want to convey. Here, I just focused purely on portraiture and the beautiful people performing their passion….Its hard to listen to this music and not be moved. I hope I have captured that in beautiful and respectful way.”
