Alberto Lara – Don’t Wake Me, I’m Not Dreaming

Really amazing is this analog and grungy photo-series by 17 years old Alberto Lara from Mexico!

“I had a long time without touching my camera due to a creative block, and as the days came, I discovered analog photography and wanted to explore it. Then I called my friend Victoria, the one who always helps me with my photographs and she loves grunge like I do. My best friend and Victoria gave me this jacket as a birthday gift, so I thought it was a good idea to use it for my photographs. Victoria is a girl with a very fresh essence; she always carries the summer even if we have winter. I decided to call the series ‘Don’t Wake Me, I’m Not Dreaming’ because I was listening to ‘Kali Uchis’ while thinking of a series of unfortunate events which I had passed. That was when the inspiration came to me.”
