Capturing Mexican Beauty as an Act of Self-Love

Dorian López’s MexicanoMX is more than a photo project, it’s a defiant act of self-love.

By capturing the beauty of everyday Mexicans, López’s photos destroy the false and archaic notion that only light-skinned people are pretty.

In MexicanoMX, brown skin, black hair, Indigenous eyes, noses and lips are celebrated — and in doing so, restores for many a positive self-image. And that’s a beautiful thing.
