May 30, 2017

Through gritty photographs, Puertro Rican photog Phoenix Robles captures the places and faces of everyday people. Phoenix primarily shoots in black and white which giving her photos a documentary-type of feel and perspective.

“I’d like to consider myself a sociological photographer,” Robles says. “My photography seeks to discover the inner workings of places and people, that would normally go over-looked. Frequenting the urban places similar to the places I’ve grown up in, I focus mainly on street style and street art photography. Often going into the places that are falling apart, a bit broken, and scary on the exterior, to get the stories inside of these places, that could simply change one’s view, or the world.”
