Today, we wish a happy birthday to photographer Graciela Iturbide! Born on this day in 1942 in Mexico City, Mexico, Iturbide is known for her photographic compositions, photo essays of her experiences and relationships with Indigenous communities and people in Mexico. Originally intending to study film, Itrurbide found a love for the still, poetic qualities of photography after studying and working with the famed Mexican photographer Manuel Álvarez Bravo. Her most notable works include her documentation of the Seri people in 1978 and of Juchitán and the Zapotec people in Oaxaca in 1979. In working with Indigenous communities, Iturbide practices an intentionality with her photographs that centers her relationship with communities. Rather than serving as documentation, her approach centers on the moment, which sometimes means choosing not to photograph. Iturbide says “To me it’s more important to get to know the worlds I travel in; this knowledge is so attractive that photography almost takes second place.” Iturbide has produced some of the most iconic and recognizable images, cementing her as one of Mexico’s most important photographers.

Visual Description:
Centered on an eggshell-white page is a black-and-white photographic portrait. Seated in a dark-toned chair positioned slightly to the right of the center is a figure, Graciela Iturbide. She wears a light collared long-sleeve jacket over a striped shirt, ankle-length, rolled-hemmed pants, and dark ankle boots. She sits with her elbows on the armrests, her hands in her lap, and her proper left leg crossed over her proper right leg. She faces forward, her expression soft and her short black hair swooping to the left. In the background is the corner of two exterior walls with the panes of two white windows on the left and right. Below, the floor is covered in aged rectangular tiles, a potted plant sitting atop the windowsill slightly tucked behind the right of the chair.
