PHOTOGRAPHERS
Eniac Martínez Ulloa was born in Mexico City in 1959. He studied there at the International Center of Photography, the National Art School, and at the Cuban Institute of Art. Martínez Ulloa has had solo exhibitions and collective exhibits around the world.
He won the 1991 Mother Jones Magazine documentary photography competition. His work has been published in Independent magazine, Daily Telegraph, National Geographic, México Indígena, Luna córnea and La Jornada. In 2000, he worked with Francisco Mata Rosas on the much-praised book Litorales (Centro de la Imagen, 2000), which featured photographs of Mexican beaches from every coast taken with a cheap plastic panoramic camera.
Martínez documented a group of Mixtec Indians who migrated to the United States from their home state of Oaxaca in search of work, for which he won a Fullbright award in 1989; the work was ultimately published in Mixtecos, Norte Sur (Mexico: Nuevos Códices, 1994). He is completing a project on the Camino Real (the King's Highway) in Mexico and the U.S. Martínez lives and works in Mexico City. The Wittliff Gallery is proud to include thirty-nine of his images so far.
