The black and white and color photographs shown here represent examples by some of Los Angeles' brightest and most inspired emerging and established photographers. Coming from a variety of backgrounds, cultures and regions of the world, their individual visions are translated through the lens of their cameras into imaginative, compelling prints that will surely enrich your life and your environment.

Collecting photography has a variety of benefits. Most apparent, is its relative affordability. If budget is a concern, you can easily collect a number of prints for a relatively small sum of money. Even works by established photographers are still quite affordable when compared to works in other media. The increasing quality, innovation and popularity of archival digital prints have also opened new doors to new and established collectors.

Aside from affordability, the relatively small and consistent dimensional size of framed photography allows a collector to assemble a large collection of work, even when faced with the confines of limited physical space. Although many photographers are producing extraordinarily powerful, large format work, traditional smaller size works are still the norm rather than the exception. Additionally, since most photographers often develop a series or theme incorporating many interrelated images, you can gradually add to an initial acquisition and, over time, assemble a cohesive and dramatic grouping of works.

Photography is a medium that has been increasing in popularity and importance for many good reasons. If you're looking to fill your life and space with beauty, drama and even some illusion, you can discover some compelling choices in photography.
