Photography Exhibition: Street Scenes From Easter Week

By Staff Writer

This exhibition is the first of its kind.  It is a glimpse behind the scenes to unexpected moments of the Easter week; each image sheds light on to intimate, powerful and passionate expressions of faith. The exhibition is offered as an expression of gratitude to the community of El Oratorio and the people of San Miguel who have graciously welcomed Martha Gabriela Dressen and her lens without hesitation.

In the style of street photography, Martha’s work shows a striking balance between happenstance and technical proficiency.  She captures fleeting moments in everyday life while always mindful of the light, composition, and tonality.

In the beautiful outdoors of the Centro Histórico,  Martha presents a collection of images in which perfection is actually in the imperfection; where nuances come forward to highlight the beauty of everyday life.

Martha is a Mexican street photographer residing in both Minneapolis, Minnesota, as well as San Miguel de Allende. Her work is found in the permanent collections of the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago, UNISA Gallery at the University of South Africa Pretoria, and the Minnesota History Center, St. Paul, MN.

For this exhibition Martha worked with master printer Gabriel Figueroa Flores in México City and Lavinia’s Framing in San Miguel de Allende.
