«”No Mames”, bluntly said in disbelief and admiration is exactly the energy of what five years in Mexico City looked like while making this book. everyone who contributed to this and captured here is sewn deeply into my heart and my memories. something that started from photos became my real life and a window into these experiences.»
"No Mames" is the monograph created in Mexico City by the photographer Mayan Toledano, where reportage, portraiture, and fashion photography blend with delicate ease.
In this series, Toledano explores the lives of the queer community and that sense of community is reflected in "No Mames", the result of the careful edit of some 10,000 photos.
The series’ portraiture follows a two-fold process: first, she captures her subjects as they present themselves in everyday life; then, she photographs them as they would like to appear, facilitating the construction of their fantasy selves in a private and celebratory way.
«Bringing a team of friends together with a perspective that I trust, we were able to tell the story in a rhythm that gives space to each character. We are going in and out of people’s homes and their exterior lives. In and out of how I see them and how they see themselves. So overall, I think the book has a kind of a music that is the music of the city and its people .»
