Created Equal Photobook By Mark Laita

Created Equal is a great project by a photographer Mark Laita. Mark says: "Every city in the U.S. has sex offenders, prostitutes, drug addicts along with wonderful humanitarians, philanthropists and leaders. I aimed to depict our country as it is, not as we would like to think it is".
Mark Laita was raised in Detroit and Chicago, studied Photography at the University of Illinois and the Columbia College in Chicago. Already at the age of 15 he explored his passion for this handcraft. In the meantime Mark Laita counts as a successful and established photographer who runs studios in Los Angeles and New York.
Laita travelled across 48 federal states of the USA during the last 7 years. Using a 8x10inch camera he took portraits of people who are representative of those states but unique at the same time. These works cumulated in the fascinating photo book „Created Equal“ which will be presented in our gallery for the first time in Europe.
