Latino Street Gangs In Los Angeles By Robert Yager

Among other accolades, Yager was awarded a fellowship from the Aaron Siskind Foundation at the School of Visual Arts in New York and best photo essay from the International Photography Awards.
Yager published a book of photographs, ‘a.k.a. BooBoo’, which covers a 14 year time span in the life of Cindy Martinez, a female gang member. An exhibition of this work led to becoming David Lee Roth’s personal photographer, documenting Diamond Dave’s return to touring the USA & Canada in Van Halen in 2007 & 2008.
Yager continues to shoot for The New York Times, The Independent & The Observer and maintains his interest in human society, particularly counter-culture.
