A few years ago (I can’t believe it has been that long!) I did a small project on the Mariachi Academy based out of Harlem, NY. They recently asked me to shoot some formal portraits of them for their promotional campaign, and here are some highlights for the shoot. A few of these kids can be seen in the previous series a bit younger. It was fun to seem them a little more grown up.
I was also VERY EXCITED to be able to take some portraits of Ramon Ponce Sr, the sort of patriarch of the whole organization.
Very nice! Ramon Ponce is such an interesting subject. A lot of depth in that face.
