About us — Archimontem
Hi, I'm Alana

I'm a photographer, archietct, art enthusiast and collector of light, and a seeker of the beauty hiding in the everyday. Monterrey — its mountains, its architecture, the contrast between the industrial and the intimate — is where I found my visual voice, and that's where the name comes from: Archi for the structure that holds everything up, Montem for the mountain that watches over it all.
What I See Through the Lens
My work lives at the intersection of fine art and architectural photography: clean lines, dramatic shadows, textures that tell a story without needing a single word. Every piece you'll find here is a limited edition, printed with the same care it was captured with — made to live in spaces that value the timeless over the trendy.
"I don't photograph places. I photograph the way light decides to stay in them."
My Mission
I believe art shouldn't stay locked inside a gallery. My mission with MONTEM is to bring fine art photography to the people and spaces built with intention — homes, offices, restaurants, hotels — so that every wall gets to tell a visual story too. Every print that leaves here carries that purpose forward.
Behind MONTEM
Beyond this shop, you can find a curated selection of my work on display at Cota 700, our café-gallery in Monterrey, where art and a good cup of coffee share the same room. [Add any extra detail here: awards, exhibitions, collaborations, years of experience, press features, etc.]
