Manuel Alvarez Bravo
b. 1902 Mexico City, Mexico, d. 2002
Manuel was a self-taught photographer who purchased his first camera when he was twenty while working at a government job. His earliest success at photography came around 1925, when he won first prize in a local photographic competition in Oaxaca. He returned to Mexico City in 1927 met Tina Modotti, who introduced him to a lively intellectual and cultural environment of other artists from various disciplines. Among them was Edward Weston, who encouraged Alvarez Bravo to continue photographing.
