Personal statement by Joseph RODRIGUEZ
'I am a humanist, people are important to me. The way I take photographs may not be hip, but they are relevant.' (Joseph RODRGUEZ)
Background information
"The photography by Joseph RODRIGUEZ intimately documents the life of people who live at the fringes of society: families who live on the wrong side of the law, prostitutes in Mexico, jail inmates in Zambia and pentecostal pilgrims in Romania. Isolation, migration, prostitutesand religiousness - people are always in the focus of his work.
Content

The catalog has been published to coincide the first showing of his works in Germany.
