SUITCASE  JOE

is a street photographer based out of Los Angeles, CA, known for capturing misunderstood communities through a dignifying lens.

  • Suitcase Joe’s skid row series warrants serious consideration, due in part to its high degree of humanity that succeeds in evoking our empathy. Unlike most contemporary photography depicting homelessness, his subjects are not remotely rendered as generic representations of a sociological condition; rather, they are portrayed as emotionally animated human beings with their own unique manifestations of struggle and survival.”
