La Feria Photo Essay
In March 2018 I travelled to Tultepec, MX to photograph the annual fireworks festival. Tultepec produces over half of Mexico's fireworks and celebrates once a year by creating explosive floats shaped like bulls. Then the detonate them in the central square and it is a point of pride to dance as close to the fire as possible. I got some very nice burns both to my body and my equipment.
