Mexico Between Life and Death – Interview with Harvey Stein

Our guest today is Harvey Stein. He currently teaches at the International Center of Photography, (ICP) in New York and teaches a series of photography workshops around the world. His work is been exhibited around the world and is the recipient of numerous awards. Also he’s been published in dozens of magazines like the New Yorker, Time Magazine, life Magazine, Esqire, The New York Times and too many others to list here.

Publishing a monograph of your street photos is the promised land for many photographers. To date Harvey has been there 8 times with the publication of his latest book Mexico Between Life and Death.

Harvey has visited Mexico 14 times since 1993 and continues to be mystified by it. His new book consists of 176 pages containing 158 images all of them coming from his many visits to the country over the years.

The book tells an amazing story of a culture that is so close to us physically but also quite different.

I was fortunate to have an opportunity to speak with Harvey again about his new book which we have for you in this episode.

So kickback grab a beverage and have a listen to Harvey Stein tell us all about his new book Mexico Between Life and Death.
