Masacrar familias enteras, la creciente práctica de terror de los narcos en México

Masacrar a familias enteras es una estrategia creciente de carteles de narcotráfico en su lucha por controlar zonas de tráfico. Especialistas creen que es una táctica para amedrentar a grupos rivales

Una de las víctimas tenía cuatro meses de edad. El bebé murió junto con sus dos hermanos y otras dos mujeres adultas.

Alejandro Chaskielberg - La Creciente

My appetite to see and discover new work is insatiable, so when Marcelo Brodsky suggested that I meet some young Argentine photographers while I was considering who to show at the Brighton Photo Biennial for 2010, I jumped at this opportunity. By the time I had seen the third image in Chaskielberg’s folio I was convinced this was a major new photographer. I had never seen any images like this before and few with such maturity from a new photographer. On one level his work documents a rural community living on the banks of the Parana river delta. But there is so much more than this. All taken during the full moon, his photos are a virtuoso exploration of how flash, torches, moonlight and posed portraits all fuse together in a seamless manner. The photographer has combined subject and methodology so convincingly that you know he has resolved this brilliantly. So much so, you hardly notice the thin line between subject and style.’

From the Introduction by Martin Parr.

LA CRECIENTE is the sixth title in our popular series Parr/Nazraeli Series of Ten.

"I worked on this project for four years. It changed with time and with every islander I met. I used photography to explore and, from the perspective of my experiences, to experiment with light. Many of these people had never been photographed".

La Creciente (The High Tide) documents life of rural community of foresters in the Parana River delta of Argentina. All the pictures are taken during the full moon with a very long exposures. It creates very surreal drawing-like effect. I do love these photographs and I think it is a powerful work, yet I expected more from this photobook.
