CREATED EQUAL- PHOTO SERIES BY PHOTOGRAPHER MARK LAITA

clavriene

In America, the chasm between rich and poor is growing, the clash between conservatives and liberals is strengthening, and even good and evil seem more polarized than ever before. At the heart of this collection of portraits is my desire to remind us that we were all equal, until our environment, circumstances or fate molded and weathered us into whom we have become. Los Angeles- and New York-based photographer Mark Laita completed Created Equal over the course of eight years; his poignant words reflect the striking polarizations found in his photographs. Presented as diptychs, the images explore social, economic and gender difference and similarity within the United States, emulating and updating the portraiture of Edward Curtis, August Sander and Richard Avedon. This volume includes an introduction by noted culture writer and editorial cult figure Ingrid Sischy.

I like the original photos. This is very inspiring to create your own masterpieces. Lately I've been interested in food photography and on the website I found a lot of interesting information about it. For me, this became an example of how food photography should be done.
