Daniel Ramos, also known as Histogrammer, is a Mexican documentary photographer based in Mexico City. He began photographing in 2019 and focuses on everyday life, popular celebrations and the communities that shape the city and its outskirts. His approach is built on respect, conversation and trust, returning to the same places to develop relationships with the people he photographs.
For Ramos, the camera creates opportunities for encounters and shared experiences. His layered images bring together the festive and the ordinary, exploring the tensions between tradition and modernity, celebration and struggle, and the survival of collective identity within a changing urban environment.
His series Carnival on the Outskirts documents celebrations in Tlaltenco, Zapotitlán and Tezonco, where living traditions persist amid urban expansion. Selected by Magnum photographer Matt Black, it won the Projects & Portfolios section of the URBAN Photo Awards 2025.
His work has also been recognised by the Brussels Street Photography Festival, Pisa Street Photography International Festival, The Independent Photographer, the International Photography Awards and Cuartoscuro. He continues to develop long-term work on ritual, belief and belonging in Mexico.
