Alexia Mercado
Alexia Mercado is a very special photographer. She is primarily known on Instagram. She is only 21 years old so the photography world is very excited to see what's to come. She is from Lazaro Cardenas, Michoacan, Mexico. Her Latina background influences most of her photography. She currently lives in her hometown and has her own studio. Alexia enjoys taking pictures of her younger sister. She said shooting images of her younger sister was easy when she was younger because she took direction well. But, as she grew older, her sister's attitude made it more difficult for her to take pictures.
Alexia's curiosity for photography started because of her dad. "In college I realized that my true vocation is photography and I didn't think twice about it. I quit college to start studying photography and by that time I had already practiced taking portraits and shooting a few weddings. Since the photography studies finished, I haven't stopped working," states Alexia Mercado in an interview with Matthias Jaworski, author of the article, Artist of the Month - Alexia Mercado, written on April 25, 2017.
