Photography

Enrique Metinides

Jaralambos Enrique Metinides Tsironides (12 February 1934 – 10 May 2022) was a Mexican photographer. He began working with photography as a child when his father gave him a camera. Soon he began taking photos imitating popular action movies and car crashes near his father's restaurant. He published his first photo in a newspaper when he was twelve and, at age thirteen, became an unpaid assistant at La Prensa. His career as a crime photographer continued until 1997 when he retired, but since then his work has gained appreciation on its own merits, being exhibited in galleries and other venues in Mexico, the United States, and Europe.
