This immensely powerful photo series by Mark Laita looks at the contrast between individuals, their life choices and vocations. It’s a truly stunning series of portraits that serve to remind us all, that we’re all created equal – it’s just that sometimes life has a habit of getting in the way.
Here’s what Mark had to say about his work:
“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 diptyches is my desire to remind us that we were all equal, until our environment, circumstance or fate molded and weathered us into whom we have become.”
