LALO CARRILLO

From 9 to 5 is a project that I started in July 2018. I was working 9 to 5 for six months in order to pay debts and future trips. I thought I was going to be able to hold up working like that since I was going to get a stable income and it was a good position, however, I never thought it was going to be this hard for me. 

 

During the first month, I went back home every night practically crying. I didn’t have a clue on how to do everything I was asked to do besides knowing that I was leaving photography on the side. 

 

It's horrible to look at yourself in the mirror or in a reflection and not knowing the person that you’re looking. One day I decided to look at my job as a photo project and from there little by little 

everything got better.

 

I feel like this period of my life has helped me to appreciate even more all the work and strength that most of the people have to get up and go out to work, sustain their families or assume responsibilities. That is why this project is dedicated to all those people. 

 

This project has been a process in my work life and I try to show everything that captured my attention and I enjoyed observing on the daily basis.
