My Lens The Photography of IxChel Canché

IxChel Canché is a 18 year old photographer from East Los Angeles. As she finishes up her last year of high school, she relies on photography to learn more about the young woman she is becoming. IxChel utilizes film and digital photography to reflect on past lessons and bring attention to topics that matter to her such as Woman’s Rights, Chicano movements, climate change and callings for peace. She is greatly inspired by photographers like Gerda Taro and Vivian Maier as well as authors like Sandra Cisneros and Laura Esquivel. Her mission is to uplift and preserve not only her voice but the voices of those around her. IxChel hopes that photography allows her to fall in love with life over and over again.
