The Inner Gaze - Photographic Workshop of Guelatao
The Inner Gaze - Photographic Workshop of Guelatao

My name is Lizet Hernández Arreortúa, I am 21 years old, I graduated from high school with a specialty as a computer technician, I am from Capulalpam de Méndez Ixtlán, and I currently work for a local forestry organization called OZACHI; I'm in charge of commercialization.

The year I graduated from high school, I couldn't continue my studies, so I started to work for Comunalidad A.C. in Guelatao, an organization that helps the young. On that occasion they were organizing several workshops, among them one on photography. We were invited to participate. I decided to take the workshop but I had to organize my schedule because I worked as an administrative assistant. At first I devoted little time to the workshop, but I thought it was interesting, so I asked my coordinator to give me some more time. In this way I began this project based on my interest in nature and the region's diversity; very few people give it the importance it deserves, some things are so hidden that only a trained eye can uncover them.

The workshop was interesting and it still is, we learned photography, which is not only useful as a way of remembering, but it can also be fun. We also shared our experiences with Mariana and the others, our different ways of seeing things, and the way our projects slowly emerged.
