Meet the Photographer: Paloma Rincón

Food is more than taste and flavours. Food is culture, memories and colours. 

These themes are the bedrock of Mexican Feast, a collection of images by the photographer Paloma Rincon.

Realised in collaboration with Laura Burstarviejo and the Madrid Academy students Clara Gasqued, Antón Montero, Reme Ortega, Olga Vila, Marian Gumá, the Be Foodstyler project is a celebration of Mexican culture through its gastronomy and its tradition in handicrafts. 

For Paloma Rincon, the importance of colours, light, textures, and handicrafts are pillars for her unique style and in this project. She combines them together in order to represent Mexican traditions at their best.

Mexican Feast has been shortlisted by the Sony World Photography Awards in the Still Life category. Very soon we will discover if the collection has has won a prize. 

Rincon was was born in Mexico and later moved to Madrid. Her style is unique, a mix of different techniques combining photography, sculpture, design, and installations. Colour, bright light and unexpected compositions are central to her vision.
