I have photographed people for editorial for years. I wanted to get a bit more raw and genuine with some work. The 4 images from the neighborhood is the start of a project in which I want to try and capture not only the place and people as it is today, but also touch on how this neighborhood helped mold me as an adult as I spent my first 14 years of life there.
The people basically live very similarly, but personalities and their histories are very different.
