magnumphotos: Could you tell us about your path into photography, and at what point an interest became a profession?⠀⠀
yaelmtzv: "I discovered that I wanted to become a photographer when I saw the work of Josef Koudelka (josef_koudelka) and W. Eugene Smith (eugenesmithfund). At the time I was just a boy and I had never held a camera. I took my first photographs when I was 17 years old, with a plastic camera that belonged to my sister, which was the only camera that we had in our family. With those photos I tried to make a story and applied to study Visual Arts at a university in Mexico, but I was rejected because I did not have the knowledge or skills to become an artist. I realized that we are not born with these skills, but we can learn them. Art can be taught."⠀⠀
In a Q&A for Magnum, 2020 Magnum nominee Yael Martínez discusses how depictions of dreams and nightmares in his images give voice to experiences of loss amid the fraying of contemporary Mexican society.⠀⠀
