What I want to create

I come proudly from two different cultures .Indeed I’m Austrian and Mexican, two completely different cultures. This is part of my identity because I grew up with these two different origins and I made it in my own. So I wanted to take pictures that represents my two origins. What I find pleasant in Hassan Hajjaj’s photography is that he shows his cultures very proudly. I love the colours, the poses, the clothes and its makes me smile.
