We have produced thousands hundreds of photo shoots

studio in Mexico.
At PhotoMexico Advertising & Editorial Photography,
every project has its own unique challenges and requires specific
guidelines. When working on your project we will discuss your project
goals, budget, time restraints and resources needed for us to produce
optimal results. Only some of our photography services include:
advertising photography, editorial photography, fashion, still life
photography, commercial, architecture, interiors and exteriors and
location photography.
Advertising and editorial photography provides photographs for a variety
of publications focused on tourism and Los Cabos specifically, from
supplements, to special interest magazines and the trade press.
These two areas of photography have different focuses: editorial
photographs illustrate stories in magazines, whereas advertising
photographs encourage readers to buy products and services. There are,
however, crossover areas referred to as 'advertorial', where product
pictures appear beside a promotional, but informative, article.
From the photographer's point of view at PhotoMexico,
the key difference is the amount of time spent on these two areas of
work, with advertising enjoying far greater expenditure and being seen
to be at the glamorous end of the industry.
Typical work activities include:
- Taking pictures in studios or on location photography
- Working from sketches drawn by art directors OR working closely with
clientele and converting these ideas into images
- Working closely with other professionals, such as stylists, picture
researchers and editors
- Developing skills and expertise in using lighting for photography -
this is important for photographing items such as food, interiors,
beverages, infinity pools and as objects that reflect a lot of light
present considerable technical challenges.

"If you are looking for a photographer who would do anything for you
and your perfect shot, you’ve found one in Francisco! He will take you
to the moon, climb trees, ride a mule, get lost in the desert with you
and be part of your wildest adventure, and more, but I mean – literally!
There is not a thing that Francisco wouldn’t do so you could take home
that perfect photograph or photo album. I’ve worked with him on two
magazine covers and one feature article on weddings. By the time we were
done on the last, the whole crew was “in love” – the mood was just
perfect, photos turned out incredible, and besides that – we had great
fun! Francisco is a great person to work with and be around with; he
always smiles and gets you in the best mood for the picture. Someday,
when you get older and will look back at your wedding photographs or
photographs from some other special event in your life that you did with
him, you will be happy for two things: first because of the amazing
photographs, and second because you will happily remember that day of
the photo shoot. There are photographers that come and go, and there are
photographers that will stay in your memory forever. That’s Francisco
Estrada."
