Stefan Ruiz: People

Stefan Ruiz’s portfolio of portraits and social landscapes, photographed over the last five years, reveals a striking vision of the fragility of the ‘family of man’. With photographs of his own family, Mexican soap stars, Cuban mental asylum patients, Texan cowgirls and Rwandan refugees, among portraits such as Liza Minnelli and James Brown, this photo essay establishes Ruiz as a key contemporary image maker.
