Greg Bojorquez | Photographer

A couple years ago my buddy Scott and I ran into Gregory Bojorquez, at a BBQ at my friend Rene Astengo's house. It was funny, I was shooting Rene's Ironhead chopper he had just finished, and all of a sudden, Greg was standing next to me, shooting with some funky Polaroid camera.. When we got back home that night and looked at the photos on his website, I was pretty much blown away, and very impressed by his work.

The plan was to meet up during my last trip to LA, but due to some circumstances, it didn't work out... Greg had a gallery in Berlin a while ago, and it was good to hear that he had another one in Cologne, Germany, a couple weeks ago, which is only little over an hour away from me. Curator Bene Taschen set up the location and gallery for Greg and he did a great job at it. More on that here.

Here's a little info on Greg Bojorquez:

Gregory Bojorquez, born in 1972, grew up in the infamous streets of East Los Angeles. He photographed his surroundings, his neighbors and his friends, succeeding early on in documenting their private lives. After he caught the attention of LA Weekly, he began to photograph Hollywood celebrities, stars ranging from the likes of Snoop Dogg to Mike Tyson. His photos were published in numerous magazines including Rolling Stone Magazine and FHM.

However he continues to go back to his roots by maintaining his interest in people from his surroundings. He knows the dark side of Los Angeles and conveys original images of a hidden world, far removed from the Hollywood Hills. His photos have a remarkable documentary quality, for example “The Eastsiders” (1997-2001), a fascinating work of romance, gangs and death. “Friday Night Party” shows 19 year old ‘Wicked’ with his friends just minutes before his murder by a member of a rival gang.

Greg paints a picture of Los Angeles as we have never seen it before – naked and uncensored.
