Remy Amezcua. Eunice Adorno. Daniel Aguilar. Lola Álvarez Bravo. Born Dolores Martínez in Jalisco, Mexico, Lola Alvarez Bravo (1907–1993) was one of Mexico’s most important photographers.

Lola Álvarez Bravo

Like other women artists linked with famous male counterparts, her work has often been overshadowed by that of her husband, renowned photographer Manuel Alvarez Bravo. They married in Mexico City in 1925 just as Manuel’s photography practice began to develop. Manuel introduced Lola to the camera, the darkroom, and photography techniques, and she assisted him with developing and printing his images. Manuel Álvarez Bravo. Lizeth Arauz.
