Robert Yager: Gang Photography
I watched Champion, the documentary about actor Danny Trejo, yesterday with my girlfriend. Both of us spent most of the time cringing about the stories he had about the drugs and criminal acts he was involved in when he was a young gangster in southern California. His story turns out to be incredibly positive in the end, but is similar in many ways to the images I found today shot by photographer Robert Yager. Simply titled Gang Photography, it’s an older body of work but still very relevant. Robert’s website is somewhat of a nightmare to try to navigate through so I pulled some images from it to view here. I’d recommend clicking through to see entire body of work though. It’s an amazing project.
