La Gente was a two-year photography series that celebrates the beauty of the people of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

2,000 free copies of the large format, MULTI-IMAGE La Gente zine HAVE beEN distributed across town. 

Just as there is no single Mexico, there is no single San Miguel de Allende. Both are a beautiful and complex mosaic that dazzles one’s thoughts, heart, and eyes. Both are larger than life. Mexico itself and San Miguel de Allende excite, entertain, and show us all the essence of humanity.

While San Miguel is about its colors, architecture, history, blue sky, and Mexican soul - it’s the people that make this town truly magical. I hope you enjoy La Gente.

La Gente is my celebration of the people of San Miguel de Allende – my neighbors and friends. I am very lucky to live here.

FYI: I have also used this style of street studio photography in India, Selma, and L.A. You can see the work at peterlevitanphotography.
