If life doesn’t make you uncomfortable you’re not aware of what’s going on around you. Reality is harsh and these images aim to show that. So much photography we see now is heavily retouched and beautified to the extent that it’s no longer photography. It’s some sort of marketing monster we’ve spawned. Created Equal’s portraits are not always beautiful, but they’re real and honest, which is what I aimed for.
Mark Laita will be speaking at IRIS Nights next Thursday (6/23) about his series 'Created Equal". RSVP here. Available tomorrow Wed the 15th at noon and Thursday the 16th at 9:30 am. Total of 180 tickets will be available. Event is free.
