WHEN IN ROMA

‘Top things to do in Mexico City’ - Frida Carlo’s Museum, Centro Historico and Templo Mejor: to name a few of the popular tourist sites that attract thousands of people across the globe every year. However, for some, these sites can take a miss.

Naked saunas, dirty house clubs and luxury BnB’s top Manee and Dylan’s list. This photo story documents the lives of LA boys Manee and Dylan, as they take to the streets and clubs of Mexico City for gay pride week. It explores how their experiences of the city are unique, purposely tailored around the gay scene, always in seek of spaces where they can express themselves in all their glamour. Foremost, it portrays how solidarity and safe spaces can be found amongst the gay community, wherever you are in the world.

Shot on various medium format and 35mm cameras, Kodak Portra 400.
