Latino Street Gangs In Los Angeles By Robert Yager

For nearly two decades Yager has been a contributing photographer, doing covers and features, of portraits and reportage, for a host of magazines. Among them are The Observer, The Independent, The Telegraph, The Guardian Weekend, The Sunday Times, Marie Claire and The Face in the UK and US publications: The New York Times Magazine, Fortune, Fader, Esquire, Interview, Rolling Stone, Newsweek and TIME.
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.
