Title: Fighting Over Justin, from the book Stamford PIctures of Life
Photographer: Vincent Rodriguez.
Statement: This book contains photos taken in Stamford, Connecticut from 2003 to 2007. After taking literally thousands of pictures of family and friends, Vincent Rodriguez found that taking pictures of strangers in natural environments, doing things they normally do, was the epitome of capturing the “real moment.”
To this end, many of the photographs are of people going about their business in public places, hence he considers himself a “Street Photographer.” Many of the photographs travel the spectrum from humorous, to the very real sad life of people down on their luck. Capturing these moments and being able to see something special in every day life is what drives him.
Vincent once read that the ability to convey real, raw emotions through photography – the exact feelings you experience in life – is an art. Transferring these feelings and emotions is what Vincent strives for with his photographs.
