‘STRAIGHT OUT THE HOOD’

Straight out the hood is a long term documentary look at the dark and unseen side of the street, from rough areas to poor neighbourhoods... These photographs have been present since the beginning, this project is the reason I started taking photos and is essentially my life's work.

In this series, I move beyond the typical postcard images and the familiar streets we all know, delving into the diverse and historically rich fabric of the cities. By documenting the life of gang members, mafia figures or any other criminal organisations, I aim to reveal the complexity of their lives and their daily reality, capturing candid moments that often provoke thought rather than offering clear-cut answers.
