Chicago! I’ll be at Chicago Artisan Market this Sunday.
Bringing a mix of work, some new images, all printed by me.
If you’ve only seen the photos online, seeing them in person is a different experience.
Sunday

Thank you! I love how b&w removes any distractions. Thanks for your comment!
Hey Ernesto, I sent you an email a couple of months ago. Can you email me about this? carlos@carlosrivera.mx cheers!
You wont regret it! The best city in the world!
Never tried it. I will. Thanks for sharing that!
I love contrast. It has to be crispy 👌🏼 so if I use hp5, I push it to add more.
Thanks!!!
Thanks! It is digital, but Tri-x is my go to when I shoot film. Sometimes hp5.
Union Station is one of the best places to photograph in Chicago. It has everything: a lot of people, different moments, travelers rushing to the trains, amazing architecture, perfect light and the timeless vibe that I love. It is perfect for black and white photography.

The only thing that feels better than sharing my art… is building community around it.

Exactly!!!
Shooting film in 2026 makes zero sense.
Why make your life harder when you can shoot 1/8000 at ISO 12,000 on digital and see everything instantly?
Film is slow. It’s grainy. You wait days to see the result. It has flaws. It limits you.
And honestly… that’s exactly why I love it.

Love classic!
Its nice and you will never find a problem finding affordable frames 👍🏼
Yes, ai feel like 4:5 is more contemplative or peaceful than a 2:3 somehow. Also, I print a lot and we are always limited by the standard frame sizes available. I guess there is a reason why 4:5 is the most common ration in frames. Thanks for your comment!
Yes, Ive been a little bit of a purist but Im tired of it. I always try to avoid cropping but I feel now a little relieved with this freedom.
Usually I don't crop my photographs. Lately I've been printing 4:5 and I'm loving it, especially in portrait mode, I think it is less "aggressive". 2:3 feels too stretched to me now.
What do you think? Do you always stick with the same ratio? Or do you let your photograph decide?

Lakeshore East, Chicago.
Every time I go to this area, I need to capture this staircase, they are beautiful, how light hits, the design…. This is how Chicago is built, to look beautiful.
Part of my series Chicago: City Beautiful

Im latino, Im a creative, Bad Bunny’s music is not my cup of tea, but damn he’s good! He is a performer and most importantly, he is a disruptive and mega creative guy! Us creatives can learn from that.
Also, being latino is the shit!

Awesome! Thanks!
Absolutely! Thanks for considering me. If you want to send me an email to carlos@carlosrivera.mx would be easier. ✌🏼
Thanks Ernesto!
Thank you! I was in the middle of a big crowd, and I needed her to look at me, so I tried to catch her attention with signs and doing noises until the women on her side saw me and asked her to tell her to look at me. It was a funny situation
