MANUAL LABOR

Manual Labor is a series of portraits of a construction crew of young men in Merida, Mexico, photographed while on a break from working on renovating an old hacienda in the center of town, soon to become a luxury boutique hotel. The visual significance of their natural statue in comparison to the luxury rooms they were building was not lost on the photographer.
