"In the middle of a drug cartel war, the inhabitants of the state of Chihuahua Mexico live in fear of violence that permeates the region. A record of more than 2,400 executions took place in 2008. In just the first months of this year, approximately seventy-five police officers have lost their lives in the fight."
These circumstances set the stage for Alex Espinosa's photo reportage entitled, Mexico: In The Middle Of A Drug War, now appearing on Gaia Photos, where a group of thirty-nine photojournalists from around the globe “introduce the World’s population to the World”.
Born in Mexico City, Alex Espinosa was raised, in the border state of Baja California. Alex studied psychology at the University of the State in Mexicali, and has developed photography projects in 16 Latin American countries.
The international organizations he's worked with include World Vision, Organization of the American States (OEA), Inter-American Institute of the Child (IIN), Desarrollo Integral de la Familia (DIF) and Centro Cultural Tijuana (CECUT).
Alex's work has appeared in several national and international publications including Expansion, Geo, Life & Style, Obras and Look.
His photography has been exhibited in Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador and the United States.
Alex Espinosa is based in Ensenada, Mexico and is available for assignments throughout Latin America.
