I am so excited to share with you today the work of one of your fellow ONE members, Ahtziri Gonzalez. Ahtziri is a 22-year-old photographer from Mexico City who — according to her blog — “travels… parties… writes… lives,” and above all, takes some beautiful photography. She emailed me 10 of her best photos from Africa, and they’re just stunning. What I like about her photos is that it’s vibrant, colorful and upbeat, but she also has an eye for quiet moments. Scroll through her photos to see what I mean:
Sunrise. Sani Pass, Lesotho-South Africa.
Cultural festival. Mbabane, Swaziland.
Mother and son – Mole National Park, Ghana.
Camel. Sahara Desert, Mali.
Looking for the answer. Al Azhar Mosque, Cairo, Egypt.
Woman. Grand Popo, Benin.
Fisherman. Aheme Lake, Benin.
Girl in the Volta Region, Ghana.
African Village – Tafi Atome, Ghana
Djenné Mosque, Mali.
