About

Bruno Cortés, photographer and journalist

I started in 1988 at Diario de México. I worked for El Ciudadano and El Nacional, covered Chiapas in 1994 and contributed to El País, Asahi and El Universal. I founded Maya Comunicación and covered the Chamber of Deputies, the Senate and the Presidency for years.

That craft is what I bring to every commission: read the scene fast, move without getting in the way and deliver on time.
