Magic of Puerto
For nearly four decades, Reed Stuart Rahn has lived behind the lens, bearing witness to history, humanity, and the beauty of the world. From the cover of Time Magazine to the pages of National Geographic, his camera has served as both an eye and a bridge connecting people to place, moment to meaning.
Now, at 66, Reed enters a new chapter: one of reflection, stillness, and personal vision through fine art photography.
Magic of Puerto is more than a photographic series; it is a meditation on light, color, and connection. Over the course of three winters six months each he immersed himself in the rhythms of Puerto Morelos, Mexico. With only an iPhone 11 in hand, he walked the beaches daily, often burying the device under sand or holding it inches above the sea, chasing the elusive dance of light on water. What emerged from this practice is a body of work that captures not just the visual beauty of the Caribbean coast, but the energetic frequency of harmony that nature reveals when we are quiet enough to see it.
This debut fine art series consists of sixteen curated images, presented as limited edition prints ten per image at 8.5” x 11”. These will premiere on July 1, 2025, at Artiszzimo Fine Art Gallery in Puerto Morelos. Later, the series will be offered to the public as open-edition canvas prints in 30” x 40” and 15” x 20” formats, available throughout Cancún and surrounding areas.
Each image is a visual poem, a quiet moment rendered in luminous color, inviting the viewer to return to their natural origin: stillness, presence, and wonder.
Accompanying the series is a forthcoming coffee table book, Magic of Puerto, a testament to the quiet magic found in the everyday.
To those who collect this work thank you for recognizing the language of light, the wisdom of the earth, and the quiet stories told through a lens. Reed looks forward to signing your personal limited edition print, Thank You.
