About the teacher: Cisco's work spans many
facets of the photography world, from art to
commercial. After earning his BA from the UCLA
School of Motion Picture & TV, he opened his Los
Angeles studio and quickly gained an excellent
reputation for celebrity portraits and album
covers.
He began focusing on art photography in 1978
when, one late and hazy night in his studio, he
accidentally discovered the technique now known
as Polaroid Transfer. Cisco subsequently
explored this new realm with grants from The
Polaroid Corporation. His work from this period
now hangs in The San Francisco Museum of
Contemporary Art, The New Orleans Museum of Art,
and the Polaroid National and International
Collections. Cisco's return to commercial
photography coincided with a move from Los
Angeles to New Orleans in 1984. Clients,
including Freeport MacMoRan and Tulane
University, occasionally lure Cisco back to the
States for special projects.
San Cristóbal is in the highlands of Chiapas,
Mexico's southernmost state. Few places on earth
rival the region for pure dramatic beauty. San
Cristóbal itself offers myriad wonders for the
photographer. For centuries, this has been the
place where indigenous traditions meet Spanish
colonial culture. Visually the mixture is
astounding, with the bright notes of traditional
indigenous aesthetic contrasting delightfully
with the more staid yet elegant influence of
Europe.Courses
