SALIM PROCTOR | Director of Photography

Salim Proctor, known professionally as @doc.shots_, is the Director of Photography for iLaCatrina and a long-standing creative partner within the team. Based in San Antonio, Salim has been part of the project since its inception, helping define the visual identity of the brand through his cinematic approach to photography and his precise understanding of light, movement, and symbolism.

His work plays a central role in shaping how iLaCatrina is seen and remembered. From editorial shoots and campaign stills to live runway presentations and cultural showcases, Salim captures each moment with clarity and intention. His images do more than document—they narrate. Through his lens, each Catrina, each detail, and each gesture is elevated into a visual story that reflects the soul of Mexican heritage.

As Director of Photography, Salim works closely with the creative team to ensure consistency, quality, and purpose across every visual output. His ability to frame history, costume, and performance with elegance and restraint has become an essential element of iLaCatrina’s artistic voice.

His photography is not just part of the process—it is the archive, the memory, and the ongoing reflection of a project dedicated to culture in motion.
