Mariana Yazbek, daughter of Tufic Yazbek, a photographer known for portraying various personalities and introducing advertising photography in Mexico, has continued his legacy in the world of photography and art. Mariana recounts how, from a very young age, she became involved in the world of image and creativity.
After her father gave her her first camera, a Nikon, Mariana learned to use it and develop the photographs in the darkroom. Although her mother closed the studio to study psychology, Mariana never ceased to explore her passion for photography and art. She started working in fashion photography and soon ventured into portrait photography and advertising.
One of her first paid jobs was photographing Héctor Bonilla at the Polyforum. Over time, Mariana immersed herself in the world of editorial and advertising photography, working with various magazines and creating posters for films.
Over the years, Mariana has adapted to the technological changes in photography, transitioning from darkroom development to the era of digital photography. Although she recognizes the evolution of the medium, she feels that the traditional craft of photography is losing relevance. Despite this, Mariana remains committed to her own ideas and artistic projects.
In addition to her work as a photographer, Mariana has also followed in the footsteps of flamenco dancing, a passion she discovered at a young age. Influenced by her mother, who studied ballet in New York, Mariana has dedicated herself to flamenco and has been part of the Mercedes Amaya company. Over the years, she has harmoniously combined her love for dance and photography.
Mariana has managed to carve her own path in the artistic world, keeping her father's memory alive and exploring new forms of expression through image and movement. Despite the challenges and changes in the industry, her passion and dedication have driven her to continue growing and exploring in the artistic field. With a unique blend of creativity, talent, and determination, Mariana Yazbek continues to leave her mark in the world of photography and art in Mexico.
