MONICA L CORCUERA is an award-winning photographer based in Mexico City. She is also a dedicated conservationist, adventurer, therapist, and published author. Her academic journey began with studies in Fine Arts in England, and she has since continued her artistic career in Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1. Can you introduce yourself and talk about how you got into photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Monica L Corcuera and I am an award-winning photographer based in Mexico City. I am a committed conservationist, adventurer, therapist and published author. I began my studies in Fine Arts in England and continued my artistic career in Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout my childhood, I was inspired by my parents; My mother a fine-art painter, writer and conservationist at heart, and my father who traveled through Africa and used to tell stories about his safari adventures and his close contact with nature. Since then, I have pursued that dream, learned from professional photographers and over the years, ventured out into finding my own personal style and that’s how my passion for traveling and experiencing other cultures began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. Where did you study photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I began my first photography course in 2009 in EDUMAC Mexico City, then I studied advanced photography and editing. At the same time, I also learnt from professional photographers from around the world and took many online courses for certain specialities and techniques, then I ventured out into finding my own personal style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. Do you remember your first shot? What was it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first shot was at my dog Tina, frolicking in my backyard back in 1986 with a CANON Reflex AE-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What equipment do you use?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used two camaras: A mirrorless NIKON Z6 with a Tamron 100-400mm, which is a very versatile lens for safaris, as well as a Tamron 150-600mm for long distances. Then a NiKON D5500 with a AF-S Nikkor 28-300mm lens for extra light and a AF-S Nikkor 18-105mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. What compliment inspired\/touched you the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best compliment that touched me was that my photography transmits the beauty, vibrance and tenderness of wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
