A true pioneer in many areas, Pedro Meyer is one of the first photographers to successfully make the transition from analog photography to the world of digital images. A life long innovator, he created the Latin American Colloquiums of photography, now into their twentieth year. He also founded Zone Zero and the Mexican Council of Photography from which other major photographic institutions in Mexico have stemmed.

Working at times in the tradition of American and European street photography, and at other times in the tradition of magical realism which has defined Mexican art and photography, Meyer has produced a body of seamless digital photographs that are at once both documentary fiction and digital truth. His images show that photographs can be edited and transformed on a computer with the same ease that sentences can be moved and altered on a word processor, highlighting the transition of the photographic medium from its darkroom origins to its new electronic foundation.
